'Peddle faster'??? What are they trying to sell?

The most dramatic finding was a cut of 82per cent in the risk of the faster cyclists (men and women) dying from a heartattack during a 30 minute daily session of cycling.

Pity about the other 23.5 hours a day, though.

Hope springs eternal. Anyway, so far so good on the comments.

Because the Daily Mail is full of editorial facts which are true I have decided today to go to work by taxi....I would not want to upset my finely tuned athletic stature and fitness brought about by cycling.

And who are this "Cyclist Tourism Club" they speak of?

speed was more important than the duration

Does that apply to other forms of excercise as well ?
