Message: [QUOTE="borninansonia, post: 3900001, member: 184"] I could not disagree more. Perhaps you should try high intensity workouts on a bike. High heart rate exercise is high quality exercise. Sure, lolligagging is not a great workout, but most serious bike riders ride hard, high intensity. The quality of the road is important. I choose to live in an area with great roads for bicycling. I grew up in Conn riding my bike, never had a problem with cars. I probably have ridden more than 100,000 miles on my bikes, I had perhaps two problems with cars. I make sure I'm seen, good rear lights, bright color jerseys. I'm 72 and can't walk due to ankle problems, but I can ride my upright bike at high heart rates, 75-95% of max, for 75 minutes 4 times a week. [/QUOTE]
