If you’re looking for an affordable and accessible way to live longer, skip the pricey wellness retreats and quirky biohacks—just bike to work.

I would have a signficantly shorter lifespan when I get run down by a ford
Apparently bike commuters still come out ahead, judging by the wording.
I read another study that said even downhill MTB riders still come out ahead on average, despite the much higher risk of injuries, so it seems likely that commuters are still better off too.
Excuses, bring AR while cycling. /s
You joke, but I bet a visibly armed cyclist get messed with a lot less. I usually just opt for a camera though, being visibly armed can get you targeted by people who either want a gun or already have one and are about to do something terrible.
Think of it as a conditional probability time stream on an actuary table:
• Every day that you don’t get killed by a Ford f-450, your lifespan increases by a few minutes
• This is like putting pennies into the penny jar
• Eventually the penny jar gets full and then you are killed by a Ford f-450, thus spilling all of the contents (and your contents), onto the road.
• Thus, the energetic principle of conservation of entropy is preserved, with positive entropy.
You clearly just need a more heavily armoured bike. You should start running down the fords!
Reactive armor: If they’re going to take you out, they’re gonna go too!
[pretend I posted that picture of a cargo bike hauling propane here]
What happens when you get ran over by a Toyota instead?
