If you’re looking for an affordable and accessible way to live longer, skip the pricey wellness retreats and quirky biohacks—just bike to work.

Specific context added to aerobics increase longevity studies.
In other news, exercise is good for you and sleep makes you feel rested. Still awaiting results of “not banging your head against the wall” study.
Also if you have time to bike to work, you likely have a less hectic schedule, less stress.
Is the amount of time I live longer equal to the amount of extra time I spend biking to work?
For lifting weights it’s confirmed that your prolong your life by more than what you spend in the gym, i think for 30-45 min sessions, which is enough.
In Belgium, we get paid to bike to work by many employers!
0.21€ per km or so. Nothing crazy, but it increases motivation to bike to work
Not to mention the saved fuel cost, car maintenance cost and/or public transport cost ( though the latter is often reimbursed by the employer as well ).
You do get some money for driving to work in your taxes IIRC, but not even close to what you spend.
Unless you live in a city, town or location with terrible (or non existent) bike laws that will put you at risk of dying from a traffic accident.
I live in one of the largest and most bike aware places. It is still just a numbers game and luck. It certainly will cut my life short as is and disability sucks, but I still ride. No one can predict someone pulling directly into a passing car from a parallel parking spot. That level of stupid is beyond belief, but it does exist, and it got me riding to work 2/26/14
Well, I guess I’ll die
goingyoung since I work from home.Get a home trainer then you can ride from home
Same, in my case it would probably be detrimental to my health, since I’d have to ride down stairs to get to my office.
