Re saving two or three pounds:

But what's the point? The bike with me on it weighs almost 190 pounds. Would I really fly if the all up weight was 187?

This quest for weightlessness seems nuts to me. I probably go about all day with three pounds of junk about my person.

Alternatively, we could all cycle further, lose three pounds and be wealthier and healthier too.


Just my quirky opinion. Pay no attention and spend lots of cash instead.
