BUT, if I want to get the recommended 60 minutes of exercise every day, I can spend 30 minutes driving to and from work and 60 minutes jogging for a total of 90 minutes, or I can just ride my bike to and from work for a total of 60-80 minutes.

I really don't have time to drive to work.

Excellent point
