[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2162659, member: 6467"] I think "enough" is probably not the best way to look at it. Would it be better for you than not cycling to and from work? Almost certainly. Would it tick off the NHS "20 minutes per day minimum". Also yes unless you are very fast. For major improvements after that you could start going a slightly longer route to and from work. An extra mile morning and evening is only going to add around 5 minutes to the trip, but it will up your exercise by 50%. Oh, I was assuming it was 2 miles each way. Did you mean 4 miles then then 4 miles back? That would be a better amount of exercise. If you work where you store your cycle during the day you could always go out for half an hour in your lunch break At 10 mph that is another 5 miles per day. I hope that when you look at how you use your time during the day you may be able to find a few minutes here and there to be active. Go for it! [/QUOTE]
