The only benefit I can see is that you can combine watching TV or reading with exercise in a way that's tricky unless you have a tandem bicycle or something. personally, I'd go with that but my partner doesn't want to drive it either

But that does continue to amaze me. Especially when combined with nonsense like "if you exercise outside the gym you undo the effect of the gym".

I ride my bike to work every day, half an hour each way, and that seems to work for my. I'm only slightly overweight and I eat all sorts of junk. But when I go cycle touring I always seem to lose a couple of kg and add a lot more muscle, so I could obviously stand to exercise more to get more benefit. But 5-6 hours a day of aerobic exercise might annoy my coworkers )
