Maybe, but I've got to imagine it has more to do with exercise keeping your immune system in good order and all that other medical stuff I know nothing about. Or perhaps the lifestyle that comes with regular commuting is what matters. Regardless, I've found the same to be true, that I hardly ever get sick, probably thanks to biking.
