Can I get a 2 for 1? It seems like no net benefit as a 1 to 1. What does 1 hour of walking give for ROI?

I do a one way cycle commute. Bus in the morning, cycle home. Cycling and taking the bus both take about an hour, plus cycling is more enjoyable and good exercise. I call that a net win.
I grew up hearing the old "smoke a cigarette, take 6 minutes off your life" yarn, which makes me wonder; if you smoke 10 cigarettes while riding a bike over the course of an hour, would you be more likely to crash your bike or have a heart attack?
Life is not a matter of chances in my opinion and observarion. You will die when you will die. You have as much control over your death date as you did over your birth date. Even a suicide attempt can fail and people that take care of themselves the most still die early from some random cancer. Not to say your destined cause of death won't be lung cancer from smoking or a freak bike accident but that good choices pre…
This is absolutely wrong. Maybe ages ago, but certainly not today. We have a lot of control over factors contributing to all-cause mortality and the avoidance of deadly accidents. Avoiding tobacco products, regular exercise, reasonable diet, and possibly strength training all reduce all-cause mortality significantly.
> people that take care of themselves the most still die early from some random cancer.
Please show me any research that shows that health-conscience individuals disproportionately die early from cancer.
An even better outcome than the headline suggests! Certainly interested in reading that study. Too bad the article is just an advert for a book, and doesn’t link to any research.
Yeah, but that hour longer will still be an hour spent on the exercise bike.

You take your bike with you on the bus in the morning?
