I really wish they'd not use quotes such as this:
"Over the course of the study, the 263,450 subjects who were under review had a 41 per cent lower chance of death than those who didn’t."
Are bicycles the secret to immortality?

Isn't there a bit of a cause vs correlation issue with this?
“Cycle commuters had a 52 per cent lower risk of dying from heart disease and a 40 per cent lower risk of dying from cancer. They also had 46 per cent lower risk of developing heart disease and a 45 per cent lower risk of developing cancer at all,” the study’s authors wrote.
Just let those numbers soak in a bit. They truly are significant. If a pharmaceutical company created a pill that could reduce your chance of dying by almost half, with particular success against those stubborn scourges of humanity of cancer and heart disease, it would be heralded as a wonder drug. Luckily, this pill is already hanging from the rafters of your garage.
