There was me just trying to get to work, and I never knew riding a bike increased our chances of immortality.

until you get run over by an HGV without mirrors and die due to a rotational neck injury caused by your helmet 😯

decreases the risk of dying? so i may live forever?!

it balances out my smoking

LOL at the quote.

40% of commuters are immortal!

It certainly explains the somewhat cavalier attitude some show towards their personal safety, particularly in the vicinity of red traffic lights…. 😉

So if you do your commute 2.5 times per day you will be immortal and have to change your surname to MacLeod?

decreases risk of mortality in 40% not by 40%

Curses, I'll just have to find a vampire then…

Also reduces the likelihood of you being a fat load by 68%

Fact.

I guess the van that braked and moved left on me this morning was out to prove the stats wrong!

Aye…seems to be alot of them around eh….

Story also said: "Cycling to work has other benefits too: according to a study in the Netherlands, employees who regularly cycle to work take on average one day less sick leave every year compared with those who do not cycle to work."

Uh . . . am I the only one here who has ever called in "sick" to go riding with friends?

Sheesh!
I'm a goner since I work from Home.
Good bye everyone….. 🙁

That kind of makes sense. When I was commuting by bike I certainly noticed some "quickening"…

I'll get me coat.
