Advocacy & Safety - Cycling and Health

I'm sure this has been posted here before but it seems to be going around again today. In fact a non-biking friend sent it to me and asked if he could really lose weight by biking to work.

Thank you for sharing. I might post this to my Facebook account :)

Edit: I've blogged this graphic, and posted a link to the entry for all of my friends and family to see. Once again, thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you for the comparison graphic, show the difference between the U.S., Germany, and Holland.:thumb:

I am convinced the mental health aspect is key, as well. I LOVE riding my bike. I arrive at work refreshed, happy (or happier than I would otherwise), and ready for the day. Didn't get to ride today, nor will I tomorrow - I am looking forward to my trainer in a few minutes.

For almost my entire 35-year career, my home-to-work commute has always included some walking, jogging, and/or bicycling, and I am reaping the rewards now.
