Well done. If the benefits of cycling (or, I admit, other exercise) could be packed in a pill, it would be the most widely prescribed medicine in the world for a whole host of ills.
Just read the following on the web: "In 1887 Frank Bowden was told he had only months to live. Rather than accept hs fate, he chose to follow the advice of his doctor who told him to take up cycling to save his life. To improve his health, he went to Raleigh Street, where he found 12 men in a small workshop producing three cycles a week. Bowden then decided to buy the workshop and the Raleigh Cycle Company was founded."
