I began bike commuting in April, and can count on one hand the days I haven't biked to work in that time. I've lost 45 lbs, 3 clothing sizes, gotten to a high-normal blood pressure (mine's been high due to meds), not caught any kind of cold or flu, and gained immense amounts of energy. I've been able to reduce the amount of thyroid hormone I take from 175 to 137 mcg - the lowest I've been since I was 18 and lost the thyroid. Oh, and my endometriosis pain is much reduced. Not bad for just riding 35-50 miles most weeks.
