Researchers say switching from driving to cycling may benefit health.
The findings come from an international team of researchers - led by Dr. Audrey de Nazelle from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London in the United Kingdom - who analyzed the data of around 11,000 adults across Europe.
The research forms a part of the Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) project, which aims to gain a better understanding of how different forms of transport influence the physical activity and overall health of the general public.
