Getting rid of that fancy car for a bicycle ride has been reported to halve your chances of a heart attack or dying from cancer.
The Nigeria topography for most place is somewhere you can always have a fun ride, the hills here are not necessary except you are the adventurious type. PLEASE DONT TRY IT ON LAGOS MAINLAND ROAD!!!

And yeah, some people might prefer to walk to work but then, it's not nearly as pleasurable and beneficial as pedalling, said experts from the University of Glasgow. This is to confirm that tradiutional africa ways is one that allows for exercise, thereby reducing the rate of some specific disease.

Recently, precisely on April 19, "the British Medical Journal published results of a new study which exhibits cycling to work is linked to a substantial decrease in the risk of developing and dying from cancer or heart disease."

Dr Carlos Celis-Morales, from the University of Glasgow, said walking to work was associated with lower risk of heart disease, but unlike cycling was not associated with a significantly lower risk of cancer or overall death.

He further said that "This may be because walkers commuted shorter distances than cyclists, typically six miles per week, compared with 30 miles per week."

"Walking is generally a lower intensity of exercise than cycling."

However, in good news for those who might ride part of the way catch a bus the rest of their commute, the study also found some health benefits if people cycled part of their journey and took public transport or drove the rest of the way.
