NEW STUDY – Cycling is Healthy!

 150 150 Bikes & Beers

…Cycling is Healthy, GO FIGURE!

 

People who opt to cycle to work reduce their risk of dying, according to new research.

The study, carried out by experts in New Zealand and Australia, found that people who cycled to work had a 13 per cent reduction in mortality, compared to those driving, walking or taking public transport.

Researchers took data from 3.5 million people in New Zealand, making it one of the largest ever studies of its kind.

Dr Caroline Shaw, from the Department of Public Health at the University of Otago in New Zealand, said that the “highly representative study” shows the need for an increase in support for people commuting by bike.

The researchers, from the University of Otago, the University of Melbourne and the University of Auckland, took data from the New Zealand Census-Mortality Study to carry out their investigations.

Looking at the 1996, 2001 and 2006 censuses, the experts found that more than 80 per cent of people traveled to work by car, with only five per cent walking and three per cent cycling.

Results from the study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, revealed that those who cycle had a 13 per cent reduction in mortality during the study, mostly likely as the result of the health benefits of physical activity.

There was no reduction in mortality for people who walked or took public transport to work.

Dr Shaw said: “Increasing cycling for commuting to work in a country with low levels of cycling like New Zealand will require policies directed at both transport and urban planning, such as increasing housing density and implementing cycling networks.”

“We saw no increase in road traffic injury deaths associated with walking and cycling, although the New Zealand transport system at the time of these studies was heavily car-dominated and roads seldom made allowances for pedestrians and cyclists.”

The study also revealed the gender differences in travelling to work, with two per cent of women cycling compared with four per cent of men, while seven per cent of women walked or jogged compared with five per cent of men.

A higher proportion of younger people cycled, walked or took public transport compared with older people.

Bikes and Beers will be hosted by Harpoon Brewery’s Main Boston Location on Saturday, June 29th!

If you’re familiar with either Boston or craft beer, then you’ve undoubtedly heard of Harpoon’s delicious beer!

Founded in 1986, Harpoon Brewery has grown from a neighborhood staple to one of the largest independent craft breweries in the country. Bikes and Beers, America’s Cycling and Craft Brewery Tour, is honored to announce its first annual ride and event at Harpoon’s Boston location!  

Bikes and Beers – Harpoon Ride and Event TICKET INFO

If you’ve enjoyed any of Harpoon’s annual festivals, such as HARPOONFEST or OCTOBERFEST, then this event is for you!

Benefitting the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition, the Bikes and Beers event begins and ends at Harpoon Brewery on 306 Northern Ave, Boston, MA. The ride stops at a halfway point for water and food refreshments, then finishes up at Harpoon Brewery for two complementary beers.

Bikes and Beers features two riding options. The 15 and 30-mile rides offer cyclists of all levels the ability to participate in this day of casual riding and fun after-party activities! The ride from Harpoon Brewery, out to Franklin Park, and down along the scenic waterfront Harborwalk is sure to give all cyclists a beautiful experience riding through Boston.

The after-party is similar to a beer festival atmosphere, complete with a variety of food trucks, games, raffles, and much more!
