It might not come as a huge surprise for those of us attuned to the soft endorphin build of a long bike ride that cycling is good for our brains, but a new study has found that sustained aerobic exercise, like cycling, might also reduce our risk of dementia, too.
Researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China and the University of Sydney collected data of nearly 480,000 people from the UK Biobank, all around the age of 57. In a bid to understand the link between brain health and common forms of travel, they asked them which mode of transport they usually used: car/motor vehicle; walking; public transport, or cycling.
