Look, if I were in the middle of denying I'd participated in a straw donor scheme to launder illegal political donations from inadmissible donors, I probably wouldn't want to be caught on camera setting up a different straw donor scheme to launder illegal political donations from inadmissible donors

I won't claim that riding a bike fixes everything, but moving your body, getting some fresh air, and being face to face with nature on a simple commute can do so much for your physical and mental health. You don't always have to leave the car at home, but give it a try sometime if you can.
