I like your videos and most of your posts, but DUDE you lost a lot of credit for this one.

I ride my bike to work everyday in London ( a bit over 5 miles ) and my legs are like ROCKS and are very strong now.(I am 40 and I work standing ALL DAY) I used to take the tube instead before, and I was not only depressed by the experience I was also less fit. Not to mention the FLU that travels the tube every now and then. Packed like a sardine in comparison to cycling through the lovely canals out in the open changed my life. Whoever says that you are better off in public transport in a big city is either lying or nuts.

PS.:Scooby would say that working out your legs is owesome for your body since it envolves huge muscles, not to mention the AEROBIC workout that is the most excencial thing one can do for one’s health, isn’t it?

In reply to Dr. J. Well, if we go by the theory that elevated stress levels contribute to your metabolism, it may be so by design! ;)

The only problem with biking in the US is how dangerous it can be in many cities. I bike all the time for fun and exercise, but not to where I work.

Well standing on the bus which is my normal situation is usually an extreme sport. There is the climbing over the baby stroller obstacle course (my personal record is 5 strollers in a row. Then is the trying to stay upright through potholes, hard braking and swerving. Add the stress from having your bus get cancelled again followed by having somebodies briefcase jabbing you in the butt for 15 minutes and the oppressive heat. Yep, you are definitely drained by the time you fall out the doors and kiss the ground.

I used to walk 45 mi s each way to work, it got me in amazing shape without even realizing it.
