Health

Half an hours exercise five days a week dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer.

Exercise is good for mental health, too. It reduces stress and gives you more energy.

If you're 60 kg, or nine and a half stones, a brisk walk burns up 300 calories an hour. Walking for 20 minutes uses as much energy as 17 minutes weight training - and it's much more fun.

Cycling uses a similar amount of calories as walking. You can boost your aerobic fitness by 17% in just six weeks by cycling four miles a day.

Regular cyclists stay younger longer - their fitness levels are ten years below their actual age.

There are 260 miles of cycling routes in the city.
