Count It As Exercise

Biking or walking to work offers many benefits.  On a personal level, you'll save money, get good exercise, and experience your city in ways that are impossible at 30 miles per hour.  Environmentally, it cuts local air pollution, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps reduce roadway congestion and traffic.  Economically, you can’t beat the savings!  Plus you burn approximately 175 calories (per hour) instead of releasing about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide for every gallon burned.
