Move more, weight less
Another case of the media discovering what this forum already knows:
https://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28235890/
I found this statistic interesting:
"Europeans on average walk 237 miles and cycle 116 miles per year; U.S. residents walk 87 miles and bike 24 miles. Bassett and Pucher calculated that translates into burning off 5 to 9 pounds of fat annually for Europeans compared to only 2 pounds for Americans."
If 10 Wheels hangs up his bike, that 24 mile per year average drops quite a bit.

I am now ready for the 20,000 miles in my neighborhood.
Just received a new 36 spoke wheel set.
Have 12 new tires.
Two spare chains.
I ride with Dave who is a bike mechanic.
Any naysayer think I can't make it?

It is a sad statistic. I guess it is just because the way our country is so spread out compared to Europe. Its hard to walk anywhere in a timely manner where I am from. My College campus is great though, I can park my car, and walk to get almost anything I need, with a bike I dont really need a car. I love it and I never wanna leave
