I did that for about 10 years when I was young. Say what you want to but ride a 200 mile bike race at an average speed of over 20 mph and then tell them that they are not in good shape. Lets see a football or baseball player do that.
Like soccer, its not well known in America but if you train at it, endurance sports like this really get you into shape. Worst thing I ever did for my body was getting a drivers license and ditching the bike.
