You are 20 times more likely to die prematurely by not cycling, apparently, all that heart and lung goodness from pedaling.
Most people in the developed world die in their sleep, in bed, or on the sofa, or in cars, or at work etc.
There are dangers associated with cycling, as with every single aspect of our existence on the earth.
That is no reason to paint cycling as a dangerous activity, on the contrary it is every reason to tell people about the goodness of it. This is where the Times is missing a trick.
