Since you gave up riding for walking perhaps you need to get back and do some riding since you must be mistaking your longing for nice long rides to hate for people who have to cart their bike around for some reason.

Even after losing alot of weight you'd probably still consider my 2000 miles so far in 08 fat butt obese and lazy when you see my ride on the rack of the car on it's way to my 400k next weekend.

I just hate it when I get the horrible treatment on the road from some of those folks with bikes on the back of their cars. A little respect for a fellow bike rider hello?
