Sex life lacking? Get on your bike! People who cycle to work claim to have better sex, relationships and even jobs

Well, that's the title of an article in the Daily Mail highlighting a study that found that 66 percent of people who bike to work felt their relationships drastically improved.

And that's not all apparently 89% said cycling home allowed them to switch off from work, 39% said the exercise has given them extra energy in the bedroom and many said their work productivity had also improved - all thanks to cycling. Wow - if there was ever a few reasons to jump back on the bike, I reckon you have them right there. 

Aside from that, there are so many other benefits. Here are just 5 of them;

1. It's easy on your joints unlike walking or running when you put weight on your legs. So great for anyone with joint pain or age related stiffness.
    

2. Pushing pedals provides an aerobic workout which is good for many things including your heart, your brain and your mood.
    

3. Cycling enables you to build muscle - gluteus muscles, quadrecepts, gastrocnemius, soleus, hammies, even your abs and arms get a workout - they're all benefitting!
    

4. It helps with everyday activities such as balance and endurance
    

5. And it's also pretty good for the old bones too as resistance activities are known to be good for increasing bone density.
