No sure how fit I am compared to you, but I do get my regular exercise elsewhere. I started biking because I tried an eBike and was hooked. So the exercise I get from biking is because of the ebike. I have a street ebike that will go 24mpg with little effort, but can be adjusted to require more effort. And I have a eMTB that adds to your input via a torque sensor so you can adjust the amplification of your own effort. That's the bike I prefer to ride because I hit any kind of terrain at any time.
This is my real sport. I'm 63 and it suits me perfectly for all the exercise I need. And pedaling a bike is excellent crossfit for healing up the tweaked knees that occur every now and then.
