  • "The Motorcycle Action Group has already announced its opposition to cycle tracks and - bizarrely - justifies that by saying they will give cyclists higher rates of prostate cancer (there are too many levels on which that is simply plain weird)."

  • Talking out of their arse:

    As for prostate cancer, just under 1 percent of the men overall reported being diagnosed with it. Those who biked the most, more than 8.5 hours a week, were much more likely to have prostate cancer than the other men, although the study doesn't prove there's an actual connection between the two. What should men do? "Don't stop cycling because of this study," said Oliver, the surgeon in Scotland. The study is small, "not statistically significant" and based on anonymous responses from the Internet. The number of cases of prostate cancer -- 36 out of 5,282-- is small, and the apparent links to cycling time could be only due to chance.

    When I had mine checked I asked the doctor if it was true the procedure was sexually arousing, she said "You're not bad-looking but I'm a professional". Tchuh.
