Because it’s easy to set targets and measure them while in the gym, but it’s not easy to fit that kind of exercise into the day to day. People often live too close to work for the bike ride to really be considered exercise, or too far, where they couldn’t feasibly fit it into their day. I get it, doing exercise for free seems like a no-brainier, but not everyone’s life and exercise needs converge neatly to make it easy. |

The cost of the gym will pay for a GPS watch and heart-rate monitor pretty quickly.
But I understand that some places might be too high density or unsafe to run, or the weather is too hostile.
I'm fortunate enough to live 10km from work, so I switch up between running AND riding the distance.
