Yes Vic, While I don't doubt that, I still don't see how anyone could just stop cycling. Well, short of injury or illness of course. I ride a lot, pretty much every day, so to just quit and become a couch potato . . . that would be very difficult. Far more difficult than simply riding every day.

I probably have a skewed opinion since most (if not all) of my friends are enthusiastic cyclists (or mountain bikers) too. I don't really associate with any couch potatoes!

Regarding NOS88, not sure what the solution would be except to encourage your friend to get on his bikes and ride!
