One thing I learned years ago, in order to best lose weight through
cycling, is that riding a short distance everyday is very effective...as
long as it doesn't require any additional eating.
So...
A daily 20-30 minute ride in the morning or evening, without any extra
pre-or-post calorie intak
Beth, love your attitude! Wishing you many happy rides.
Best,
Richard

Eat Bacon Don't Jog has some really interesting chapters on this subject (41,
42, 79). Grants interview on NPR was a real life changer for me. you can
search for it on NPR.org.
My wife has started to ride to work with me in the mornings (5 miles), and it
has been really fun!! It forced me to
Yes, that Reader is where I first started stopping worrying about becoming the
happy long distance cyclist. I took Grant's recent advice to me to be a
continuation of that approach.

Patrick, it's noteworthy you should bring Mark Sisson into the conversation. I
believe Grant is an advocate of Sisson's approach. There was an extensive piece
on Mark in a Riv Reader a few years ago.
Richard - happily enjoying rides and walks wherever they take me:)

A 10 to 30 minute ride is always a good idea.

Justin, eveything hinges on the definition of "cardio" or "chronic cardio"
which is what these studies are about. If I understand correctly, these
studies are NOT about long and slow effort, but long and hard effort, day
in, day out. Yes, that is bad for us. However, build up your aerobic base,

you have misinterpreted what you've read; either that, or you are
grossly misrepresenting what you have read in your first sentence.
Presumably in the context of this thread, you mean us to understand
"extended" as > 30 min
It's well documented that extended cardio on a regular basis over works your
heart and can be detrimental in the long run. It's also well documented that
shorter bouts of exercise can be extremely helpful for heart, muscle and bone
health if you push as hard as you can.

According to my cardiologist 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily (e.g. a
brisk half hour walk) is all that is needed for cardiovascular fitness, and
more that that can actually be detrimental if one's criterion is longevity.
I do find that's rather short to achieve the mental benefits of cycl
Just the .5 mile to the village shopping center, and the .5 mile back is an

I realize you don't see it, but several others in this thread do. If I tell you
a 10 minute ride is good for my brain, you can believe me.

I presume your choice of mental health over bone health means you don't
have bone health issues. That's great, bone health issues are really
not good. But I really can't see 10 minutes of riding being anything
more than a way to get from here to 2 miles farther down the road; fun

Steve, you're never gonna sell me on a 10-minute ride being "a waste of time."
Frankly, that's a bizarre statement on this forum. I'd be better off physically
with a 10-minute walk? Don't care, I don't go for walks..I'm on my feet all day
as it is. I'll take the ride and the mental health it bri

Ah. I thought that was a 1-way distance. I always referred to my
commute as "8 miles" -- one way.

My commute to work when I bike gives me two choices:

Grant's advice is good as usual...my commute to work is about 5-6 km in

I must take this to heart. I suffer from depression and very often the
thought of a "real" ride is offputting. OTOH, sometimes just a bit of
activity out the door can snap me out of it.
+1 for good advice.
