A lot of people I know cycle to work etc. as a part of their training.
My supervisor, for example, is a competitive bodybuilder ... he cycles to work (and leads a car-light lifestyle) in order to get his cardio in.
I raced way back when, and several of my fellow racing cyclists commuted to build their base ... or to do traffic light intervals.
I know many people who incorporate walking into their commutes for health and well-being.
