Kettlebody Tip # 73: Don’t ride bikes

Riding bikes sucks.

Especially when there are hills.

I don’t believe that anyone really enjoys riding bikes.

If you actually do like it, whoop-dee-doo for you!

If you pretend to like it because you think it impresses others, please stop.

If you pretend to like it because you like wearing spandex, that is legitimate in my book.

If you do it because you think it is good for you, really stop. There are many safer and more pleasant ways to get fit.

If you are with me and think riding bikes sucks, HOORAY!

If you are wondering who am I to say this, I’ll tell you. For over a year before I got my car, I used to bike to work and school here in San Diego, going up hills aplenty. I was in horrible shape the whole time. Those many miles didn’t get me fit at all. All they got me was tired, cold, late, harassed and I fell a few times. It sucked.
