... Your grandmother started biking five miles a day when she was 60 and now that she's 97 years old the family doesn't know where she is.
========================================
... The only reason you would is to hear heavy breathing again.
========================================
... Although you bought a sleek $4000 racing bike last year to get in shape, you haven't lost a pound because apparently you have to ride the darn thing!
========================================
... You could only do it early in the morning before your brain figured out what you were doing.
========================================
... The only long bike rides you like are the ones taken by people who annoy you.
========================================
... The advantage of bicycling every day is that you die healthier.
========================================

Another reason not to start bicycling:
