They have an old fashioned rimbender at the blood bank here. I mentioned it to the head nurse and unfortunately, it turned into an argument about whether I should be riding my bike after giving a pint of blood. 
She was just looking out for me, but I thought it funny that my casual 2 mile ride to my house was going to qualify as "strenuous exercise." 
You should have told her that you had to ride your bike in order to warm your blood up so it would flow through the pipes.
