If anyone was wondering why the Dutch are not only healthier but also more productive than others, we have the answer: “Employees who regularly travel to work by bike are, on average, ill one day less a year than the others. Therefore they are better value.”

It doesn’t surprise us, because we already knew that cars make us fat, but bringing more profits for the companies we work … that’s a new one. And I’m thinking about it from the blogger’s perspective who’d be much more productive, but what do you do when you work from home? How about cycling (or exercising) at least a few times a week and embrace the “green” way? [via Pysorg]
