years ago during my military service, I ran the cooper, so 3200m, in 12
minutes).

 Two 6-minute miles is a good pace.  6 minutes is my fastest mile, but I was 19.
 

Today on my bike (no motor, nothing except my legs) I just complete
226km. It took me a little bit more than 10 hours (I don't include the
time I spent eating) it's not fast but unlike your joke, it's real
exercise.

 140 miles?  That's longer than an average stage in the TDF.  Insanity! Why ride so far?
 Note: so your avg pace was a respectable and realistic 14mph.  Well, some years ago here on cola we had a British Linux advocate I named Super Jim; he was Linux-powered and claimed he covered 220 miles in 8 hours on his mtn bike (which is an avg 27.5mph, nearly twice as fast as your pace)
 That luser got real offended and started shouting when I told him he was full of shit.

That was Super Jim (uppercase), but let's not forget super jim (lower case, a different but still super Linux advocate).  He claimed:

"..give me a Linux Distro team (even a volunteer one) that is open to trying my ideas just once, and I will unseat Microsoft in less than 5 years.
No excuses, no backing down and no more Linux-as-a-second-class-OS-on-the-desktop.
If I could get those volunteers, I would make Balmer cry.

heh!  Linux makes you delusional.
