Says who ??.Which riders are you talking about ??...Do car-free people have to have a certain type of look about them ??...The only reason people get obese and out of shape is because they neglect their health, diet and fitness...

Not all club riders are super skinny and not all car-free cyclist are overweight... I workout very hard and maintain a lean muscular athletic look, I am not a pro athlete but you could easily mistake me for one. Keeping fit has always been one of my important priorities in life. It makes no difference if I am car-free or not, I make sure to set aside some time everyday to exercise.
As for hills...We have few hilly places in my city and I enjoy everyone of them. I don't use bikes with multiple gears... I ride FG and SS so whenever I see a hill in front of me I just attack it with all I got within me. Love the challenge.
