I do a fair amout of bicycling and fast walking, plus weightlifting for the upper body and trunk. I used to jog up to 5-6 mi./day as part of my commute, but both of my Achilles tendons protest these days, so I stick with fast walking, instead.
I have heard too many horror stories of 50-year-old bicyclists with 20-year-old cardiosystems and 80-year-old skeletons.
