The difference between an hour walking and biking is easily 10+ miles, not exactly negligible if you have somewhere to go.

What kind of madman is gonna argue against walking? ๐Ÿ˜… Get some sleep bro

But honestly: you looking for a hobby? Go cycling all you want. You looking to get somewhere? The place will not change position at random. You know where you want to go. In my reality bike or foot rarely matter if I'm going to the supermarket or wherever. Just leave 10 minutes earlier and you're good. In this kind of situation, your choice is between losing a few more kcals by walking or saving a few minutes by taking the bike. Both are good options, neither is going to make you fat or thin. If that's your goal, eat less calorie dense food.
