The document discusses the health benefits of cycling compared to other forms of transportation. It notes that air pollution from traffic leads to more deaths in Europe each year than traffic accidents. Additionally, a lack of exercise results in 600,000 deaths per year on the continent. However, more bicycle use can help reduce emissions, combat lack of exercise as a cause of mortality, and cyclists have a 30% lower risk of death according to one Danish health study. The document promotes cycling as part of the Cycle Cities project and provides a link for additional information.
