There is more truth to this almost always than just flippancy. It covers whether a person could lose a few pounds or not. (BTW, I'm 6'-1" and 175 some I'm not
that far off from you myself). Working on the 'engine' is the best, cheapest thing a person can do. Even if you don't need to lose weight, gaining strength or endurance in essence 'lightens' the bike without spending a dime. People fuss with grams here and there in a sea of pounds and foot-pounds.
