The fall of the Soviet Union brought tough economic times to Cuba. Motorised transport ground to a halt and Cubans were forced to turn to their bicycles to get around. The effect on the health of the population was dramatic. Obesity was halved, diabetes fell by 51%, coronary artery disease was reduced by 35% and strokes fell by 20%. Australia's struggling health system could benefit hugely from a cycling revolution.
