    Doesn’t biking to work/school accomplish this as well? It’s free and you don’t need to reserve extra time. Depends on the area but if it’s possible it seems good

      Strength training and cardio have different benefits, it’s best to do both. You won’t get all the benefits of strength training by just biking.

      You’re going to have to reserve extra time to bike to work, because unless you live super close, you’re adding commute time due to using a slower vehicle.

      That’s not a point against biking to work, but please don’t pretend like you can swap commute methods and not have to reserve extra time to accommodate it.

          Right, but the person above specifically said you wouldn’t need to reserve extra time to bike to work, which is wrong.
