Absolutely.
A study I read indicated that even bicycling only 2 miles per day produced measurable physical improvements and health benefits.
From a more personal standpoint, bicycle commuting has changed me greatly from the person I once was. I am leaner, stronger, and can climb a tall set of stairs or run a few blocks without any problems. Just by cycling to work, I achieved a level of fitness I never knew when I was just walking for exercise.
I became a new man!
