The reason bicycles are so magical is because they so utilitarian. Combine utility + exercise and you clearly have a win-win situation with bicycle commuting. What other physical activity is like bicycling?

well, one also needs to consider that the study only looked at Danish people in Copenhagen (or people who lived in Copenhagen and read/wrote Danish).
this is quite a small genetic pool actually.
and FWIW, most riding was flat and on city bikes.

From the article:
Every commuter I've met rides for both exercise and utilitarian purposes. And Jennifer Dill is one of those annoying planners who loves to stereotype cyclists. I am strong, confident, enthused, interested but absolutely foffing not fearless.

As a study by Portland State University professor Jennifer Dill in the Journal of Public Health Policy shows, 60 percent of Portland cyclists ride for at least 150 minutes per week (the recommended exercise minimum for adults) and that “nearly all the bicycling was for utilitarian purposes, not exercise.

i was clearly referring to my experience in pdx, not denmark. moreover, the idea that most commuters have only one single motivation for cycling is silly.

You’ll get faster from A to B and...it also helps with getting exercise.
