The OCTA website has a few facts about what cycling can do for one’s health:
Gear up for a healthy body!
Cycling 4 miles a day reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by 50%. Regular cyclists enjoy a fitness level equivalent to being 10 years younger. New bicycle commuters can lose more than 10 lbs. during their first year of bicycle commuting.
I challenge everyone reading to get out of your cars and onto your bikes at least one day this week.
