Contributing to the green initiative in taking a bike to work (which I have done many times) or going to short shopping trip you can make a significant impact in the environment. (At least do your part).
In the city where I live bike lanes have successfully been implement by the local government. On many mornings headed downtown there has been many bike traffic jams that I have been caught in, it's a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of effective transportation it's a great site to see.
In other areas of the world from China and Japan there a more bikes on the road then cars! We may not see that for a few years in North American local politicians have yielded to lobbyist and protesters to create friendlier commute in the downtown cores.
Two years ago participated in 3 hours campaign for a local park to downtown city hall to raise more awareness on having more bike lanes in the city. It was peaceful and very motivating experience!
Exercise
Becoming an active cyclist is great way to release calories and generate a full body workout. Pacing yourself for an enjoyable and physical ride is important in creating long term stamina for endurance. Lance Armstrong competed and won multiple Tour de France's cycling championships in the last ten years. You can take the energy and determination and apply it for yourself and have more active lifestyle.
