Only one third of Australians are active enough according to health guidelines. People who aren’t physically active enough for health increase their risk of diabetes, several cancers dementia, coronary heart disease and stroke. 1 in 6 Australians will die as a result of inactivity and another 1 of those 6 will have a serious health event as a result of inactivity. Choosing that 30 minute ride or walk to work reduces this risk by 26%.

Sitting too much is a higher risk activity than getting on your bike.
