Excellent starter. Now when's the main course coming

Someone wasted time and effort on establishing that which everyone already knew?

It's amazing that no-one has pointed it out already.

Do you know what conclusions they came to about the fast-twitch vs slow-twitch muscles? I assume long distance cycling would encourage slow-twitch?

The Truth About Fast-Twitch and Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers

People who cycle, walk or catch the train or bus to work keep more weight off than commuters who travel by car, a large UK study has found.

The results come from 150,000 UK adults aged 40 or older who agreed to be measured and weighed and fill in a survey about their typical journey to and from work.

It's a no brainer.

Its a good job they didn't include me in the study, being built for comfort rather than speed as I am!

That's very out of date.

The newer stuff seems to be done with chickens though.

Did someone mention cheese and beetroot sandwiches?

I love cheese & beetroots sandwiches, but are they good or bad for you?
