We exercise because we know it's good for us, not because it's pleasurable. Sitting on a couch munching on caramel popcorn and watching Jurassic World for 2.5 hours is pleasurable. Riding a bike at 5AM for 2.5 hours is not.
I'll join the chorus of derision about this. Riding a bike for a couple of hours in the early morning is one of life's great pleasures.
Incidentally, I've always been fond of sex, too. Despite being pleasurable it doesn't seem to have done me any harm.
