Need another reason to get on your bicycle? Here are five, from An Argument for Bicycle Commuting by Joseph Sandone:
A person who cycles as a commuter consistently can expect, according to a report released in the American Journal of Public Health, to
  • live longer than those who don't
  • be less likely to develop coronary heart disease
  • have lower incidences of stroke and colon cancer
  • have a reduced likelihood of back injuries
  • will maintain a higher level of functional independence in old age.
