Fitness Heads: Anyone Ride a Bike to the Gym? Vol. Yay or Nay

[me no pass]

gym is 2.7 miles away and im thinking about copping a cheap bike off craigslist to save gas and to get in some solid cardio

any other NTers do this? pros and cons? 

 

[club-27]

BOOM. instant warm up.

go. now.

just close this thread and get yourself the flingingest flaningest bike your little heart (and pockets) can afford

2.7 miles is nothing. I would take a 1.5 hours ride to a boot camp class and then ride home afterwards. Do it!

Get a helmet too 5

Also, be mindful of leg days.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

2.7 miles, bruh
I would jog there

 

[thadocta]

take the bus instead

 

[ooiron manoo]

Yes, and like someone said be very mindful on leg days. Drive that day.

I live alittle less than a mile from 24hr. Fitness, I always run/jog there.

Summer time, take my shirt off and get honked at by thirsty h***

Do push-ups or pull-ups at stop lights and witness cougars and teenie boppers get honked at from drivers behind them because the light turned green 20 seconds ago.

If your about it.... You ride that bike on leg day too

no reason not to

 

[yanky]

Make sure to ride in the bike lanes!...Seriously thought do it. Can't hurt you only help you

my gym is 2.6 miles away with my bike route. essentially makes it a 12 minute warm-up + 12 minute cool-down. it's actually more convenient for me to bike cause i live in a beach town and the gym is literally a block away from the beach...that means no parking spots.

i drive on leg days though.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Of course..

Saw someone doing this yesterday.

I recently started walking/jogging to the gym, less than a mile away. Should've done it sooner. It gives you a burst of energy once you enter the gym. If you don't shower and change your clothes there, your sweaty clothes dries and airs out the smell by the time you get home.

I was recently thinking of doing this... Id jog/run it, though.. instead of biking...

I will try it out next spring/summer... Its starting to get too cold/brisk for all that. Especially when u'd have to walk back home in the cold after ur initial run and workout..

Its a good idea though.. getting in ur cardio and just having to lift and then bounce...
