1. What did the study find happened to the risk of cancer and heart diseases to those people who cycled regularly? 

The biggest study into the issue, found cycling halved the risk of cancer and heart disease.

2. Why does the writer in this article not use public transport?

He found cycling to work is quicker and cheaper than using public transport and it's my only form of exercise.

3. True or false? The study found it was weight loss caused by cycling that made cyclists at less risk from getting cancer?

False. The study found it wasn't the result of weight loss that reduced the risk of cancer but it could be that cyclists are leaner and have lower levels of inflammation in the body.

On the way to or from work. Dr Jason Gill, from the University of Glasgow, told the BBC "You need to get to work every day so if you built cycling into the day it essentially takes willpower out of the equation."
