Fully agreed.
For me the benefits of a ride go far beyond the physical workout, though that's an awfully nice bonus.
But regular riding coupled with some changes in my diet has resulted in over 40 pounds weight loss, and I've lost count of the number of people who have told me I look 10 years younger.
I'm quite prepared to call cycling my fountain of youth!
