I-Like-To-Bike:
There is no value judgment on this issue from me. May I relate an experience?
You decide if it is worth this post.
I biked for over ten years. Often 100 miles in ten hours on Rails to trails in Wisconsin.
I also love to eat and drink lots of red wine. My weight kept going up until I was size 40 waist and 240 lb. at my six foot height.
Somehow I decided that was too much and looked what to do about it.
I changed my diet and started exercising more aggressively. That worked. Next I came up with this idea of cross country at 100 miles in 6 hours. That really did it as to getting in shape.
There are folks out there who wish to know that this can be done as well want to know how to do it. Those folks I like to communicate with.
People who are comfortable as they are? This is a free country and we must not compare ourselves to others. That will get us nothing but arguments.
I do believe in self improvement and personal best and pursuit of Happiness.
(My favored poem on that is DESIDERATA, it says it better than I can.)
