Seriously, this is a reason many people give for not bike-commuting. I've had several people tell me, "You can do it because you're in good shape. I never could." Most tune me out when I explain that a few years ago, before I started walking then cycling, I was NOT in good shape--I weighed 320 pounds and I had a heart attack! People are so illogical....
I here this so many times, i sometimes wonder if i'm superhuman!!!
Apparently no-one else i come into contact with can cycle for more than 5 mins at a time or do an exercise class a couple of times a week. They will start when they've lost a few pounds though...
