no there is simpler way to ruin it in cycling itself.Just leave your saddle screw loose andgo fulltilt over a speed breaker and land hard on the back of the saddle,you'll know what i mean

It's based on a sample of 107 students (i.e. on a par with "83 women thought Pro-Revitalift X exists"), with only one blood sample each, with no base level for the person sampled, and with the level of exercise self-reported.

It's a worthless study.

8 out of 10 cat owners think their cat prefers Whiskas.

10 out of 10 dog owners know their canine companion would happily eat the cat's food as well as their own, no matter what the brand.

Too true - especially labs!

1: It's the Daily Mail
2: The majority of cyclists I know on here and in the real world have kids

So basically it's a load of rubbish.

How are we here then considering our grandparents mostly cycled way more than we do?

Cunning part of the one child policy.

Sadly cycling in China is in danger of disappearing - electric bikes at £50 and electric scooters (a la lambretta type) at £200 are seeing to that.

This story, or something along the same lines is re-cycled by the Mail and/or the Express this time of the year. Nothing new, not true. Ask Mark Cavendish.

Chris Boardman has six - or is it seven? - children.

Didn't appreciate that Chris Boardman is a chavvy illiterate.

Six, says Wikipedia.. I'm glad you made me look that up, because now I know that he ran a 3hr 20 London marathon three years ago - which is not a bad time at all for a cyclist in his 40s.
