Do you like math puzzles? Here: [View all]

I absolutely suck at math, but I need an answer - if anyone can figure it out. I sure as hell can't.

My cardiologist has instructed me to walk two miles per day. I get on a treadmill and set the speed at two miles per hour, and walk for an hour. (That math, I can handle.)

I'd like to know how to get an equal workout on a recumbent bike. I haven't the foggiest idea how to get to the answer.

Do you know how?
