If they start biking they'll get in shape.
That is what is happening with me. I know it works. The trick is just to start.

One does not have to be in good shape to start riding a bicycle. Get a bike with easy gearing and a comfortable position, and anyone can ride a couple of miles. ANYONE.
Unfortunately, someone who buys a bike for serious commuting intention will usually try to ride the whole distance the first day after picking up the bike. With the usual debilitating results. Something about people does not allow them to entertain the concept of riding 1 mile round trip the first day, 2 miles the second . . . . . . and maybe three weeks later actually try doing the intended commute.
