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...

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"...
