Why do you associate commuting to work with exercise? Not commuting means extra time for exercise.


At least for me, commuting by bike is just routine. Now that my current gig is within walking distance, these about 5 hours of biking per week just disappeared. I think that's because I find biking, running, swimming, actually anything stressing endurance an utter chore after a few weeks. Whereas while commuting a can use the time to spin up my brain and preload the working context. And in the evening it's a nice way to cool down and put everything aside.

I'm trying to compensate by going for a longer walk after-office, but because it's not a necessity I'll drop that far more often than not. I'm a lazy bastard, after all ...
