Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',

Re: Go by bike - it's twice as fast.
You know what, I don't even own a car, and I can feel the resentment from the drivers every the morning as I zap by them.
I want to be thin. I want to be a runner. Why can't I get it into my head that both things require work??

Re: Go by bike - it's twice as fast.
Europeans are so blessed with bike paths/lanes. Where I live you really take your life into your own hands sharing the road with maniacal speeding idiots. I used to love to ride my bike when I was a kid in the city. Now I don't live in the city and really wish there was a sidewalk here or something besides coarse gravel. I suppose theres always mountain-biking!!!!( But I LOVE the SPEED of flying on the concrete!!!!!!)Comment
