I can't believe it took a huge scientific study, chimps and monkeys, probably a barrel of grant money, etc, just to tell us that couch-potato-ing causes obesity and not the other way around. Classic irony. You know, the funniest thing I got from these comments was that article linked by Walter.

I also didn't have access to my bathroom scale and until last weekend. I was shocked (shocked!) to discover that I gained two entire pounds during my travels!!! I'm up to 158 lbs!! My house as been on the market for three weeks and hasn't sold yet, so screw you. I have no sympathy for your weight problems right now. Nya nya nya. So there. Oh, and there's something strangely paradoxical about signing on to Microsoft Passport from my current employer. Then again, I'm in the group selling x86-64 based boxes that run (among other things) Windows. I’ve been shuttling between Colorado and California for over a month

Just the same 'ol advice. Think you could talk Dahon into giving you a bike to give away?

Fat Cyclist. I have been reading your blog for a while, and I never thought about answering back, but this time it it the spot. I am an executive chef and I worked for a company (club med) who moved the staff worldwide every six months. I had the same problems in the last 8 years (while I worked for the company). Now that I have a regular job in mexico city, I started to commute everyday, and I have to force myself to do it. But going back to it really is like riding a bike. Your blog is really good and fun, especialy all the parts about the racing. Thanks for the humor and the comments.   Great blog.

While you suggest a mere top of the line wheelset, if you had one sensitive bone in your body you would know that FC, being the perfectionist, anal, computer nerd he is, would AGONIZE over which set to give to the deserving fan. He would need to know the exact specs of the winner's bike and do three months research on the topic. (Actually he would SAY he was doing three month's research and hope the winner actually forgets about it, but that's another story.) By suggesting a complete bike, I am saving FC his most precious resource--time. He could dump any ol' Serotta  (57cm) on my front porch for example, and it would be fine with me. It's just because I care.   B21 Walter
