Is cycling healthy ?

Research shows that 99% of all cyclists will eventually die.

So 1% achieve immortality? Show me the evidence.

That would be difficult to prove! "Show you the evidence? No problems, I'll get back to you with it in... errr... forever?".

Depends on where you cycle. Countryside is more relaxing and enjoyable where city cycling can be stressful. But each to there own.

And I heard that an alarming majority of those all die from "lack of oxygen to the brain". Surely there should be some research into stopping this!

Perhaps the daily mail could take up a campaign

Cycling has kept me out of the NHS for health reasons. I am A1.. But it cost them lots of dosh to fix my shoulder after I got run over by an idiot in a car, and I'm still visiting about a recent 'op' thats probably agitated by being fit and active. You can't win.

I can't really fault the NHS, they are under funded, even in a childrens unit. Some of the stuff they have for the kids ( e.g. ipads, Wii etc, toys, are all funded by donations- these aren't dished out, they are given to the kids to use for a few hours after things like blood tests, cannulas etc. horrible stuff for a child to have done.)
