Being foot loose and fancy free, I gotta admit I had a bit of a laugh and thought you might also enjoy appreciate my sharing what are supposedly ten good reasons why you should date or be glad that you married a cyclist:
1. Cyclists are hot, it's science. A recent study found that cyclists who excelled in the Tour de France are perceived as more attractive than other athletes and that the top 10% of cyclists “are about 25% more attractive than the lowest 10%” which means maybe fast is the new rich?
2. Cyclists are smart. According to a recent survey, most people view cyclists as 13% more intelligent than the average person.
3. According to the same Mindlab survey, cyclists are generally viewed as 10% more charitable than non-cyclists.
4. Your date will be around for a while. Pro cyclists live, on average, 6.3 more years than non-cyclists.
So long as we don't fall off coming down the Stelvio or get hit by a car.
5. After years of honing bike-maintenance skills, your date will be up for fixing things around the house, too.
6. No lazy bums here, just toned ones. Cyclists are disciplined, often rigorously so & will withstand the elements to get their rides in.
7. Cyclists are constantly setting goals for themselves so if you want a forward-thinking date, cyclists are a catch!
8. Cyclists have great near-death-experience stories to share, which is also why they’re also sticklers about safety.
9. Cyclists don’t call in sick. According to a 2013 survey by the National Cycle Network, cyclists take half the number of sick days as their public transportation-riding colleagues.
10. Think your date’s obsession with the open road is a little over-the-top? He / She is saner than you think. Studies have shown that vigorous exercise like cycling can boost concentration and memory while reducing stress and anxiety. The bike is good for the brain.
