I don't usually purchase or read Bicycling magazine but this months issue was interesting read. There is an article on heavy set riders choosing cycling as their method to gain control of their weight and their lives. Interesting read. I'm glad there are more people "stuggling" to get back into physical activity. If the aerobars and organized rides gets them off the couch - all the power to them
I'd rather see them struggling with us on the road than in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
