There's nothing like smiling beatifically at a traffic jam while cycling to your destination. There's a reason why you are smiling - cycling alleviates stress and anxiety. Deceptively - because you are sitting down after all – it gives your thighs, backside and lungs a good workout.
Health benefits a go-go – it also increases heart and lung fitness, strength and stamina. Throw away your gym membership, and with all the money you save on it, and the upkeep of your car, you can spend it on a lavish holiday.
