In total, in those eight years, I spent **46.43 days** biking (`0.63 h` a day on average). Writing that number feels radically different than the 109 awful traffic jam laden days. Why go to the gym if you can work out while going to your work? Side note: the Belgian weather circumstances obliges me to calculate the average amount of days I got wet on the bike. I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. Hint: a lot.
But what about my humble contribute to not the ecological state of the world but the physical state of my body? I traveled `22,000 km` in eight years on my bike. Suppose on average you burn `200 kcal` an hour while biking---that's a very conservative number. That would mean I burned through `222,864 kcal` in eight years, about `126.67 kcal` extra each day given that I biked on average `38 min`.

Two hundred and twenty two thousand. How many Dr. Oetker pizza's would that be? [The spinach pizza is 858 kcal](https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/4001724819400/ristorante-pizza-spinaci-dr-oetker) but let's round that down to `800 kcal`. That's `278.6` pizzas or `34.82` a year or `0.72` a week. If you up the biking burn rate, one Dr. Oetker pizza---_a week_. Holy shit.
