Indeed. I haven't seen any attempts to seriously estimate the affect the cycling has on bills for NHS treatment, but I'd be astonished if people cycling didn't save the NHS a significant sum of money - because those people are less likely to need treatment for a range of long term (and very expensive) conditions, whose occurrence is at least in part linked to lack of exercise - most notably including diabetes.
Yes less certain bills from inactivity related illnesses but a lot more from the activity related!
I do cycle, so know both sides and walking on a country lane without paths is where motorists are at their worst. No campaigns for 1.5m safe passing distance there!
