Cycling is the only form of exercise which also accomplishes a practical need, i.e. transport. * * Apart from walking, which is too slow for journeys of more than a couple of miles and running, which is impractical for carrying anything. Well, according to one prick on here not so long back, cycling is not a workable form of transport. He seemed to suggest that you couldn't live with only a bike for transport. Strange, but I seem to have lived for many a long year with only a bike for transport. Hello Glugg Necessity? - banned from driving? ....said the transvestite troll. |

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. |

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