The research studied the cycling habits of 24 623 men and 27 890 women between the ages of 50 and 65 over a period of 5 years.
Researchers asked participants to report their cycling habits, including the distance cycled to and from work, and for fun.
They then compared the data with the incidence of type 2 diabetes measured in the Danish National Diabetes Registry.
