      Yes, but

      Similar to our study, commuting by bicycle has previously been associated with a higher risk of hospital admission after a transport related incident in comparison to non-active commuting modes, and consistent with our findings, this study also showed that commuters who cycled to work had a lower risk of CVD, cancer, and death compared with non-active commuters. Other studies have confirmed that the health benefits of cycling are much greater than the risk of injuries.
