This is all good stuff. The other aspect is the studies (no. I don't have cites, this is recalled from when I was pregnant!) that show that doing regular (and, as you so rightly pedantify, frequent :-)) exercise is one of the best indicators for a complication-free birth.
I cycled right up to 41 weeks+ ; the last time was two days before I went into labour (at 41w6d) when I cycled a 3 mile round trip to Sainsburys and startled the cashier by answering the "when are you due" question with a date nearly two weeks in the past :-)) The only time I decided discretion was the better part of valour was when we had that horrible heavy snowfall. I walked home from work that day, but I would not have cycled even if I hadn't been pregnant, because the risk of falling was significant.
