There's a reason all those Copenhagen cycle chic people look so good, and it's not just those nordic genes and tight jeans. It's the exercising they are getting doing all that cycling. Now a new study confirms that not only will cycling keep you looking good, it will keep you young. Published in the Journal of Physiology, researchers from King’s College London and the University of Birmingham found that cyclists over the age of 55 “had levels of physiological function that would place them at a much younger age compared to the general population.”
It should be noted that the study looked at serious cyclists, not those doing their local shopping.
