Bicycling Magazine Article - lost hundreds of pounds
Bicycling Magazine Article - lost hundreds of pounds
My wife reads Bicycling Magazine, not I.
She was telling me there is an article inthe current magazine about a guy who lost over 300 lbs - starting at 500 - by bicycling and calorie reduction. Rode a block the first day, etc.
So, if you get BM, check it out. I believe he is at about 160 lbs now.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Actually, they don't exceed the speed of light. Instead, they modify the apparent parameters of the universe. WARP drive actually uses gravity fields to warp the membrane of space and "shrink" the distance scale in the direction of travel. Believe it or not, it even turns out to be theoretically possible to do, given enough energy to throw at the problem.

Warp drive actually should bend space so that it creates an artificial gravity. It compresses space in the direction of travel and bulges it in the opposite direction. Using this setup, you don't have to actually travel very fast. You just have to bend more space.

And, the ultimate question:
How does a thread go from "losing hundreds of pounds" to "warp speed?"
Is the Thread going faser than the speed of light - perhaps even warping?

I have been accused of being "warped", at least in the "sense of humor" mold. Does that fit?
Back to the OP, I read the article and it is inspiring to say the least.

I just read the article and it's incredibly well written. It's not gonna convince most people to hop on a bike and lose weight, but it does a good job of documenting one mans struggle. Many props to him. That's incredible.

He also did some pretty interesting interviews with some top-notch framebuilders that are well worth reading on that blog.

That's the guy. (https://istanbultea.typepad.com/largefellaonabike/ for those who might have missed the url.) It's fascinating if you start at the beginning of that blog and follow his progress.
