Age 34. I've only been on one RV trip in my life with friends. Didn't
like it, too cramped and too restricting. I told you I like to be
comfortable while traveling.

I don't know about RVs trying to run over cyclists but what is with
bike riders that ride two and three abreast on secondary roads? Are
they deliberately trying to get an a.s full of automobile fender or do
they just lack any form of common sense or are they just arrogant
elitist a.sholes in cheesy spandex with a me first kind of attitude
(my theory)?

Don't preach. Even though some of your points may have some validity
to them, it is not for you to judge other people's life choices or the
personal mistakes they make. Many obese people would choose not to be
the way they are but find it very difficult to change. Acting like a
self-righteous, judgmental cretin solves nothing.
If you cannot see past the exterior of a person or see past their
habits to even glimpse what kind of person they are, then that's your
loss. Not everyone is going to fit into your neat little mold of what
ones priorities in life should be. How can you even presume to
understand what other people want out of life? I find your kind of
attitude incredibly arrogant and naive.

Thank you for the geography lesson Mr. Wizard. I don't know about the

sometimes attacked by Yeti. At least that's what I've seen on TV.

Uhmmm.

I agree but exercise is for people who don't have 3 kids a husband and
a job. For me exercise is a luxury. I would love to take 20 or so
minutes out of each day to spend only on me but that would be very
selfish on my part. So I have to be satisfied with what I can get.

20-30? I'll give you maybe 5 or even 10! Only hard-core fanatical
runners or victims of anorexia are 20 or 30 pounds below their charted
ideal weights.

Tap water???? Ok, if you say so. I agree that bottled water is not
always the best but tap water really isn't any better. Most water from
a tap is treated with chemicals just as heavily as most bottled
waters.

In a perfect world. But you don't have to be Lance Armstrong to be
fit. In fact isn't he afflicted with several forms of cancer? How
healthy is that?

How can you be comfortable doing anything if you're fat? Fat people even
have a difficult time sleeping because their fat clogs the throat and
gives them sleep apnea.

No, they are probably operating their cycles legally according to the
statutes on the books. Perhaps you should get ahold of the bicycle laws
in your state and read them. I've posted statute after statute here and
links to even more. Go back and read them why don't you. Stop sounding
ignorant like most of the other people in this group.

Don't tell me what to do. I'll preach if I so desire. I'm not judging.
Fat means gluttony. Gluttony is a mortal sin. That's Christian belief.
It's not judging for a Christian to state Christian beliefs. And obesity
IS a matter of choice. One chooses to eat too much and get fat or one
chooses to eat just enough and stay thin. So, I have to disagree with
you; fat people are fat because they don't have the will power to stop
eating more than they need to eat or exercise as much as they need to
exercise. It's a simple equation. Physical law. You can't deny it and
claim to be a thinking human being.

Their body tells me what kind of person they are. If they are fit and
healthy, it tells me they care about keeping their temple holy. They
appreciate their gift from God. They don't go about destroying it by
gluttonous behavior. If they are obese and diseased, it tells me they
don't give a hoot about keeping their temple holy. Fat people are
sinners against God. There's no other way a rational Godly person can
view it.

Positive! Lung cancer is caused by airborne irritants.

You have as much time as anybody else has. You have 24 hours each and
every day. It's your choice as to how you use them. So don't try to sell
me that lame old excuse about not having enough time. I ain't gonna buy
it.

It's easy enough to ride a bicycle twenty or thirty miles a day to
commute to and from work. How far from work do you live? If over fifty
miles than stay out in the country but get closer to your job or get a
job closer to where you live. It's a matter of choice yet again.

That's another good thing about living out in the country. You can get
out in the back yard with your bikini or even nekid and nobody is gonna
have to look at you if you're fat. And if you're thin, sexy and fit
people who see you will thank God for His creation abilities in making
such beauty and putting a brain into that head that also appreciates the
God-given beauty and consequently does not abuse it into obesity.

Well, then DO IT. You deserve at least an hour a day JUST FOR YOURSELF.
Make the old man take care of the kids for an hour and give yourself an
hour a day all for yourself to exercise or read or do whatever else
floats your boat as long as it's a healthy pursuit that will improve
mind or body.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines]

Well, I guess I'm talking world class cyclists here. You've seen Lance
Armstrong, I'm sure. He's 5' 9" and weighs 150 in competitive trim.
He'll sometimes loose up to fifteen pounds during the Tour. A 5'6"
competitive cyclist comes in between 125 and 135 pounds. The charts say
that height should weigh 150 or so and Lance 170 or so. Too much weight.
It hurts performance. For running, cycling and other extreme aerobic
exercise one needs to have a very low percentage of body fat. 5% max for
men. Maybe 10% for women or else they have menstrual problems because of
a hormone imbalance. Have you seen the bodies on those models the
Italians want to ban from the runways? They call them skinny, anorexic.
Bah! To me they look perfect. That's how any young woman SHOULD look.
It's only the fatties trying to make themselves look better in their own
eye when they call normal weight people skinny or anorexic. Look at it
this way. I, as a pro cyclist I can go faster and last longer than any
terrestrial animal on earth. I can go faster than a Cheetah, I can put a
greyhound to shame for speed and endurance. I can wear out and leave
miles behind any Iditarod sled dog which is one of the toughest animals
on earth. Thoroughbred horses are a joke either for sprinting or long
distance. God made humans to be the best. You can't be the best when
you're fat.

I'll pray for you. You may not need the word of God to know right and
wrong but you DO need it to have eternal life. If you like to read
please get ahold of a Bible and read the New Testament at least. Please
do and try to get a King James version as it's the most accurate.

Second hand smoke is never unavoidable. The minute you smell it, hold

Agreed. One can carry more weight than Lance and be healthy. But, one
can not be obese and be healthy. Lance had testicular cancer. It
metasticized and spread to his lungs and brain. By all rights he should
be dead. He let it go way too long before attending to it. But he's one
tough little mofo. He had brain operations and they took the tumors out.
He had searing chemicals to burn it out of his lungs that would have
killed any two normal people. He went this route because he didn't want
to give up professional cycling which he would have had to do if he had
parts of his lungs surgically removed. He had the cancerous testicle
removed. He's been cancer free now for five or six years. He's blessed.
God put him here for a reason - to be the best. To be an example to
others about staying power and what the human body can do even when
ravaged by disease. An example how it's a sin to take any gift from God
for granted.
