| Annotation | The experiences are reported of 240 cyclists aged 60+ in Bristol, Oxford, Reading and Cardiff, as found in the cycle BOOM study. While cycling improved physical and mental health in "re-engaged" riders, it also requires willingness to develop resilience to trafic conditions. As part of an Age Friendly City agenda, cycling should be an easy, safe and enjoyable way of moving around urban and rural areas. (RH). |
