I can only speak for my own experience, but I've been without a car for 2 years and lost over 50 lbs and returned to a normal blood pressure in the 18 months since I started biking. I really don't do all that much riding beyond my work commute and running errands. I haven't had to join a gym, either. For me, those hours on a bike are not wasted.
