But I'm sure that my metabolism will slow down in a while, also I could still put on an inch or two.

Well... being built like a brick isn't a detriment to a cyclist after all! Glad I don't run. If I did people might make "Dwarfs are not built for running! Very dangerous for short distances but not meant for long jogs!" jokes at my expense.

To be honest, I haven't run to work for quite awhile--usually only while ramping up mileage for marathon training.

The only problem that I've found is in getting proper fit on bikes and keeping wheels true for more than 2 or 3 weeks.

My problem is that I'm short... and so are my legs. I'm STILL riding the same bike I got when I was 14. I just don't fit anything bigger.
As for keeping wheels true... I got my own truing stand so I don't have to wait for the mechs.
