You're not sitting around being a couch potato stuffing your face. And, most importantly to me personally, you're out in the fresh air having fun. Psychologically, that leads to personal satisfaction and is a great stress dumper.

Hey, I've even done five miles and felt I've accomplished something.

(I'm tempted to say, plus, it's like a quickie, based on my post about cycling is like making love, but I think I'll hold my tongue.)
