So one of the little things I've done over the last couple years to get some extra exercise is to bike someplace instead of drive when it's warranted. Now that doesn't mean I bike everywhere. If I'm going shopping, or going a distance, I'll still usually drive. I bike to work, and would even for longer distances. I also occasionally bike to events (the movies, parties, family or friends' houses). It all depends on whether there's a need for cargo.
Today I decided to bike to and from kickboxing. On the positive side, the bike path is a much more direct route (taking the highway practically doubles the distance). The only concerns were that it would get dark on the way home, and how tired I'd be after class. It worked out pretty well, and I'm planning to make it a regular thing (it also replaces a run before kickboxing which I wanted today to rest my knee a bit).
