Calculator doesn't work for me - I cycle instead of walking (to and from the station), so the best I can say is that it saves me about 35 minutes walking per day - and gives me about 15 minutes aerobic exercise into the bargain.

Re-read what I said - the 'problem' is that the journey my cycling replaces would be done by foot - the saving is in MY time.
the calculator assumes that the bike journey replaces a journey done by car or train

Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but cycling instead of walking means you do less exercise, not more. Time saving and the pleasure of cycling are your bonuses.

Jef, the comment was that it's aerobic exercise, not just exercise.

Walking is often / usually at a slow pace which is not enough to sufficiently increase the heart rate.
