Association between active commuting and incident cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality: prospective cohort study
Thanks! That is a study of a quarter of a million people. Good for safety/advocacy but also highly pertinent to commuting. I have no idea how riding a bike reduces your risk of cancer. They even assert that the health benefits of cycling outweigh the risks of riding in traffic. Still seems possible, however, that healthier people self select to do active commuting, which makes sense intuitively.
