Those who have gone by bike to work know the difference. Pedaling and enjoying the city environment promotes a feeling of leisure time, assuming that you use a good strategy: don't bike along crowded main streets, and instead favor small streets, or even graveled paths by passing the Green Lungs of the city. You can get away from everything and enjoy your commute - with the added bonus of a good workout.
