I enjoy walking and don’t mind walking even for 40 minutes in the morning. Not every day, but if it fits in the schedule it gives me more movement in practice than a bike (also due to some local circumstances).
The point was more generally that walking is a great alternative. Everyone hypes bicycles, walking has no lobby and is one of the healthiest things to add to your day.
Also, if the goal is to lose weight, cardio is fine but only supportive at best. It’s way more effective to eat less calorie dense food than trying to run/bike it off. The difference between an hour walking and biking is negligible for most people compared to dietary changes.
What kind of madman is gonna argue against walking? 😅 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.
You could also just walk whenever possible, burns more kcals/distance
That’s less efficient time-wise though, since it takes significantly longer to walk the same distance compared to riding.
Ie, riding 2 hours burns FAR more calories than walking for 2 hours.

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