Description
For sample adults who had participated in biking in the past 2 weeks (EXBIKE), EXBIKEMIN reports the average number of minutes respondents had spent biking each time they had engaged in that activity over the past 2 weeks.
After determining that a respondent participated in biking, respondents were first asked, "How many times in the past 2 weeks did you bike?" (EXBIKENO). They were then asked, "On the average, about how many minutes did you spend biking each time?" EXBIKEMIN reports the answer to this last question.

As a follow-up, respondents were asked how much their heart rate or breathing had increased while biking (EXBIKEBR).
