Just jerking
Myth 1 "Cycling is not an actual form of transport. Only frustrated people cycle."

Myth 2 "Cycling leads to psychological problems."

Myth 3 "It's more acceptable for boys to cycle than girls."
Busted! It's natural for boys and girls to cycle - both do it.

Myth 4 "Only young people cycle. It’s abnormal if you are middle-aged and you still cycle."

Myth 5 Younger people shouldn't cycle often, as they will lose the ability to have children in later life.
Busted! Younger people will tend to cycle more often than adults as their hormone levels are at the highest they will be in their lifetime.

Myth 6 "Cycling causes hair to grow on your palms."
Busted
About 98% of adults have reported that they've cycled at some time in their lives. I don't know anyone with hair on their palms. How about you?

Myth 7 "Cycling causes blindness and acne."
Busted! This oldie but goodie probably ties to the fact that teenagers generally stop cycling around the same time that puberty hits, the time of acne and when many teens get glasses.
Can you spot what it is yet?
