Great idea. Tough proposition. One of my good friends simply dismisses the idea of fitness with this line of reasoning: "People in my family don't exercise." Or, as we've all experienced, if you mention that you've ridden farther than around the block, half the people you know will think you're either nuts, training for the TDF or (most likely) both. The truly frightening part: even kids these days seem to be a bunch of butterballs happy to endlessly sit in front of a computer. Speaking of which, I think I'll get out of here and go for a bike ride.
