It’s about 100 miles a week for me!
You probably are smarter. I think exercise improves cognitive abilities.
As much as I poo pah traditional schooling*, I finished getting my BS a year and a half ago.
Usually before a final I’d go for a walk and look up at the trees. Take in the fractals in the leaves and branch shapes.
*Issues with traditional schooling is the idea that schooling = education and education = schooling.
Anyway. I’m extremely proud of you bike commuters and need to get off the bench and play.
