I always went to the gym on my bike (10 km one-way). Perfect warm-up and cvool down. I've seen It's true beyond believe. Only three biked and a full parkinglot. Everyone wants to park as close to the entry door as possible.

I take my car to the gym twice per week,, because I'm covered in sweat when I go home and every soft breeze feels like an arctic storm. That's 50% of my weekly car usage though.

My schools gym is walking distance away from me. Its like 7-10 mins. I can't get to it safely without a car because there is a 5 lane road (suicide lane in the middle) with cars speeding 50 in a 30 mph zone, no side walks, no stop lights.

It is one of the most demoralizing feelings in the world to use a car instead of cardio just to work out.
