I've been riding all my life, on and off. It's a lot of fun and you can do it for a lot more than just once a week for exercise.
Burley makes great trailers for bicycles. I am talking cargo carriers. With them you can go grocery shopping with your bike. You can carry all sorts of things with you if you have a trailer. You can go CAMPING too! But even without a trailer you can get baskets or just carry things in a backpack.
This picture is of my mountain bike and bike trailer. My dog and I went on a camping trip.
I say, think about it. Ride your bike more often than you do. Use it for simple errands if you can. Use it to commute to work. While 5-miles may be ideal, anything up to about 10-miles is bikeable from a commuting perspective. You will appreciate the exercise. You will actually save time because you won't need to go to the gym any more!
This picture is of my antique racing bike. I've kept it in pretty good shape. I just bought new wheels for it. Everything else is original. Oh, I put on a new seat and bike lights - safety first!
