I would list walking ... It's great exercise, though. Probably better even than cycling, cheaper, and less dangerous.
In an urban environment, the per-mile casualty rates are actually a bit more favorable cyclists than for pedestrians. Of course, your mileage may differ.
Cycling is by far my favourite exercise, although I also enjoy hiking, jogging, fast walking, moderate weightlifting, and indoor or outdoor rowing. Because my hand-eye and large muscle coordination is so abysmal, I have never been a successful team sports player.
