yesterday at school we did a test for lung capacity where I had 5.5 litres when others had 3 or 4 which must be becuase of cycling

I don't know how accurate this was but is it good for a 15 year old?and does lung capacity get bigger with more cycling?

    Its not bad for a 15 year old. I always had big lungs from playing wind instruments, plus sport but cycling will help increase your lung capacity too. Remember that just as some people are taller and heavier, some people have larger lungs, so it can be a natural difference also.
    Legs, lungs and lycra.

    Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
