I have had bikes all my life that might be part of the reason the old bones are complaining now with more than I care counting been broken living hard and fast the falls take a price on a body.
The normal script of walk more for good lungs is held back by my old mate Arthur Rightus a pain in the just about everywhere, that makes the idea of a bike the obvious choice not going out on it gives it all weather work time - light weight does not take up much room in the house (prob in bedroom) and above all not expensive my economy is no better than the rest of the country.

I had an exercise bike many years ago when city living and it languished in the corner of the room after the novelty had worn off. Perhaps not enough willpower! A new bike for a significant birthday had me out and about enjoying bike rides like a child with my children. Nowadays, I admit I can't do the miles I did years ago, and the hills are a struggle...BUT... I think a real bike beats an exercise bike any day! I find cycling even fairly short distances is much more effective at clearing lungs than walking. You get much more exercise in a short time, which is great if you're busy, and I find it's very good for my back too. I am an enthusiast!
I have a bike,it started off under the gazebo,moved to the garage,into the bedroom,off to the spare bedroom and is currently in the bathroom.Worth every penny.
