Flogging a dead horse is an alternative form of exercise.

So contrary to what some people would have you believe, cycling is
certainly not the only form of exercise?

I quite understand that you might not feel able to say "yes" to that.

I quite understand that he may have considered it a rhetorical
question.

If he did, he was wrong again.

There are some who seem to "think" that cycling is the only means of
exercising. They are are as wrong as you suggest him to have been.

What's so difficult about accepting that cycling is not the only - or
even anywhere near being the best - form of exercise?

Almost as stupid as thinking that driving a car is the only credible
form of transport, huh?

As for being the best form of exercise, of course cycling is the best
form of exercise for those who do it. The best form of exercise for
anyone is the kind that they enjoy and are therefore likely to continue
doing.


I think that swimming is best - cycling a close second.


Not if you don't enjoy swimming. I don't like swimming, so I am unlikely
to stick with it and derive long term benefit from it.


Good thinking.

There are some that say that a car is only practical means of going to the
shops.


What's the relevance of that?

What is the definition of best?


Any you like as long as it can be objectively justified.

People are entitled to hold opinions about things. Even when they're wrong.

What's so difficult about accepting that cycling is not the only - or
even
anywhere near being the best - form of exercise?

If you say what you have in mind then a yes or no answer can be given.
Though no matter what the answer is to your question, of course it is the
best form of exercise. You first.

I'm not watching a video.

If it's important, you'll have to describe it. if you don't feel it to
be important enough, fair enough.

It is a video of a pollutant in the River Pool, part of the
Ravensbourne drainage basin, being pulled out of the river.

Only to put your opinion of others' opinions into perspective.

It seems you put forward a question but weren't expecting an answer.
