Overweight Cyclists?

How about:
"If I ran my mouth as much as you, I'd look like a dumb @$$."

I love it.

I could stand to lose 40 lbs or so. BC (before cycling) I was wearing size 20-22 jeans, relaxed fit with the elastic. A few years into cycling I'm wearing 12's. I weigh about the same, things have just toned up

I'd like to lose more weight but mostly from the point of having arthritis. Toning up has helped my joints sooooo much. I'll always have the arth so the lighter and stronger I am the less pain I have.

But I'd rather be strong and fit than any particular weight. I bet that regardless of your rude (and I mean rude) "friend's" weight that you are stronger and fitter than they are!

Has this ever happened to you? You pull up to work or maybe you are leaving and someone makes a snarky comment about bike riding ..... from the smoking area the required 25 feet outside the door.

So my response would be:
you
me
outside!
any bike
any hill
any time
let's take this outside!

I like the last comment. Reminds of my Russell Crowe dueling out with that journalist a few weeks back...

This is where I'm at. I need to lose fat. But I'm more interested in gaining stamina and fitness. Which I also need to do. I'd be at the upper end of 'normal' if I lost 50 lbs and I'd be happy with that.
