Does endurance cycling help you live longer? Take one look at cycling legend Brian Robinson, and you may have your answer.
Brian, aged 83, is a bona fide British cycling legend: the first Briton to finish the Tour de France in 1956 and the first to win a Tour stage in 1958.
He still lives in the village of Mirfield in West Yorkshire, where he was brought up, and still cycles twice a week.
"I do have a healthy lifestyle," he says. "I can recommend cycling. They say it gives you an extra 10 years of life - another decade would do me fine!"
