The best part about biking is that it doesn't have to feel like excercise at all. Throw in a sandwich and a thermos with tea/coffee, put on a podcast or audiobook and ride away
Bikes are exactly why I tell people who are trying to get into exercise that when it comes to fitness, you just have to try different stuff until you find something that doesn’t feel like work. For me that’s bikes. I love them. I especially love that it’s not something you have to put a bunch of equipment into a car and then drive to a place to go do - you can just step out the front door, swing a leg over your bike and go wherever you want.
Bikes rule. We need more bike posting.
I've been working on trying to ride more using Zwift, but I also struggle with motivation to do exercise that feels like exercise.
I'm definitely going to put more effort into riding most days when this winter is over.
Everything feels better when I've ridden, mentally and physically.

Seriously.
That's the biggest thing for me. I try to go to the gym and feel like I'm pointlessly moving around for an hour or so.
I hop on my bike and next thing I know it's two hours later
