I don't think anyone who doesn't cycle can understand how much one's mental health is affected and how strongly the pros outweigh the cons. (Although, the healthcare team I currently see do seem to appreciate this.) The number of friends who've suggested I 'lay off' or 'give up on cycling now' as if it was a dangerous rebellious fad or bad habit...:(
I've sustained far more domestic or running injuries in my time than cycling ones, as my knees can attest.
