(Reuters Health) - Adults who bike regularly, whether for fun or for transportation, may have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than people who don't spend much time cycling, two recent studies suggest.While plenty of previous research has documented the health benefits of biking as part of a regular workout routine, the current studies offer fresh evidence that cycling for commutes or leisure may also be good for the heart."Many people think that being physically active means doing regular structured exercise, which can be a huge barrier to an active lifestyle," said Anders Grontved, senior author of one of the studies."Our study shows that biking either for recreation or as a way to commute is also great for heart health," Grontved, a researcher at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, said by email.
