Your "typical overwieght guy" at work copes with gas prices exactly the same as your "average guy" at work who drives daily. They make sacrifices in other places to feed their tank just like everyone else that isnt overweight and dosent ride a bike. I am not defending overweight people by any means, nor am i putting them down as i am 5'9" and 270 lbs myself. It just seems to me the only distinction that needs to be made is from from the purposes of this forum are the cyclists and the non-cyclists, there are overweight, average, and underweight people in both catagories.
