Well sure, if keeping your car is important to you, then do what makes you happy.

For me switching to a bike meant more exercise without having to commit any extra time. Just swap on type of commute for another, duration didn’t even change due to congestion which is easy to cycle past.

Given the US rather extreme obesity problem, I would suggest that it needs all the help it can get when it comes to improving fitness.




The average US commute is 41 miles (round trip). If people biked that then the obesity problem would be gone. Not very realistic though.
