A total of 378,253 people aged 16-74 in Scotland were followed up for 5 years for the research purpose. Researchers found a 15 per cent reduction in prescriptions for depression or anxiety among cycle commuters in the five years compared with non-cyclists.Cycling to work improves mental health: Study
