  — Regular cycling can make you as fit as someone who is ten years younger.
  — A cyclist consumes 1/50th of the oxygen of a car making the same journey.
  — A twice daily half-hour commute will, over a year, consume the energy equivalent of 24lbs of fat.
  — In 1949, 34 per cent of all mechanized journeys were made by bicycle. Fifty years later that figure had fallen to 2 per cent.
