If you’re looking for an affordable and accessible way to live longer, skip the pricey wellness retreats and quirky biohacks—just bike to work.
Is the amount of time I live longer equal to the amount of extra time I spend biking to work?
In other news, exercise is good for you and sleep makes you feel rested. Still awaiting results of “not banging your head against the wall” study.
In Belgium, we get paid to bike to work by many employers!
0.21€ per km or so. Nothing crazy, but it increases motivation to bike to work
Unless you live in a city, town or location with terrible (or non existent) bike laws that will put you at risk of dying from a traffic accident.
I live in one of the largest and most bike aware places. It is still just a numbers game and luck. It certainly will cut my life short as is and disability sucks, but I still ride. No one can predict someone pulling directly into a passing car from a parallel parking spot. That level of stupid is beyond belief, but it does exist, and it got me riding to work 2/26/14
“some exercise is better than no exercise “
Well, I guess I’ll die going since I work from home.
Get a home trainer then you can ride from home
Same, in my case it would probably be detrimental to my health, since I’d have to ride down stairs to get to my office.
