A car does neither. I am in great shape despite having one. A bike does not necessarily do either of those things. And I'm pretty happy getting the kinds of exercise I like (mostly lifting with a little running and swimming) not the kind the feds think I should get (biking). Also, do you know how much it sucks to bike after an intense leg day? And regardless I'd much rather not show up places sweat soaked (will happen on the 100 degree days) I didn't meet a lot more friends in a compact city than out of one. I never spend weekends in front of a TV, and the people who do will probably do that no matter what. Doesn't the massive decline that is losing the personal space of a house of my own, having land of my own, a yard of my own, no shared walls.
