You're going to have to reserve extra time to bike to work, because unless you live super close, you're adding commute time due to using a slower vehicle.

That's not a point against biking to work, but please don't pretend like you can swap commute methods and not have to reserve extra time to accommodate it.

    Depends on the circumstances. I was always faster on my bike than my colleagues but that was in a city coming out of the industrial area during your usual rush hour. Zooming past them on the bike lane always felt nice.

    Anyway it's always good to remember that there are vastly different circumstances out there for maybe people. This is directed more towards the guy you were replying to than to you.

    You'd have to reserve extra time to exercise anyways.

    Right, but the person above specifically said you wouldn't need to reserve extra time to bike to work, which is wrong.

    Doesn't biking to work/school accomplish this as well? It's free and you don't need to reserve extra time.

    You're right, my mistake. What they should have said is you don't have to reserve as much time as you would if you were working out separately.

    Although depending on your climate you might have to reserve even more time to clean off after getting to work.
