Commute gets in the way...
 

... of exercise!

It seems (according to an online poll commissioned by the Heart and Stroke Foundation) that Canadians have no time for healthy living.

Among reasons cited were, time needed to commute and watch TV.

Is it wrong to feel smug about this?

Gee, if only there was some way to commute and get exercise at the same time...

And I don't feel smug about it, I feel sad about it. Sad that my fellow citizens (Canada is, what, the 51st state? :D) are so incredibly stupid.

What a poor excuse. I commute by bicycle to get to the gym, so I killed two birds with one stone. Why can't they do the same?

They'd have to turn the TV off and miss the rest/beginning of the hockey game.

I wouldn't feel smug. I'd feel the urgency in creating a good example for your fellow citizens.

You know if you could become enough of a "shining beacon" for someone and they become bicycle commuters... well... the trickle-down effect would solve this problem.

Don't feel smug... just get out and do it.

I've been getting out and doing it year round since 1984.

I've also written 44 columns in my city's newspaper (and other periodicals) about my committing over the last 4 years.

Does that rate as a "shining beacon"?

That settles it - I'm going to put a TV on my handlebars. I knew something was missing!

Now you've done, gone and pissed off the Puerto Ricans. :lol:

i though britain was the 51st staight :)

I just got out of work and my brain is not working at all. I was reading this thinking "We are exercising on the commute to work".
Once my brain fart was over I remembered that some people don't ride bikes:lol:

My dear fellow! I feel most obligated to inform you on behalf of all her Majesty's loyal subjects that "The Declaration of Independence" was not only illegal, but actually treasonable!

Nice cup of tea anyone? :D

who?
