The Great Ganesha

If relations between your friends have sunk to a new low because you’re blaming them for your obesity, listen up. Just because you’re fat, it doesn’t mean you’re unfit. Particularly, if you’re a biker.

…cycling is a lot more forgiving of body type and age than running. The best cyclists going up hills are those with the best weight-to-strength ratio, which generally means being thin and strong. But heavier cyclists go faster downhill. And being light does not help much on flat roads. [link]

Woo hoo! I’m taking up biking! Seriously though, the same thing can be said about swimming, too. I’ve seen some people considerably larger than me (yes, they exist – in small numbers, I concede – but they do exist) just whoop my ass in the pool. I mean, they swim right past me like a blue whale going in for a kill, while I’m left gurgling in the wake of the mini-tsunami that ensues.

Seems to be celluloid-blogging day here…
