No. Because it's comfortable to run.

The percussive effect of running on ones knees suggest to me and most
others that is not the case.

Or don't you have knees?


Then why do so many people run for exercise?

Because runners look less of a tit than cyclists.


If cyclists wear everyday clothes like jeans and tshirt, they look quite normal. But a hi-vis jacket, a helmet, and shorts designed to castrate you, do look very silly indeed.

No cyclist ever looks normal.

Agreed. Bicycling is a very good everyday means of transport.

I am really honoured to be considered abnormal by the Medway Handyman.

Or don't like getting fat.

If I were a manual labourer and got enough exercise in everyday life I
wouldn't bother cycling, but I sit on my arse all day.

Cycling to and from work is more hassle than taking the train or
driving, but it takes about the same time and the advantage is I don't
need to spend any extra time doing exercise.

Also unlike driving it means I'm not adding to the congestion.

I try to avoid the rainy days more for safety than the wet factor.

Only if you don't wear appropriate wet weather clothes, the same goes
for motorcyclists.

"Appropriate" clothes are for pussies. Skin is completely 100% waterproof.

Indeed, fine if you cycle naked in the rain.
