Bro it's steam's own link shortener, it's one Google away..

Sure, but that doesn't allow me to bring home a family worth of groceries, or let me drive 4-5 hours away to see family for the holidays, or give me a way to drop my partner off at the airport with three suitcases for work conferences, or a way to get my 110lb dog to the vet.

The bike is not a replacement for a car, not even if it's an expensive e-bike.

It is difficult to maintain a calorie deficit, but it is also impossible to gain weight while in one. There are good calories that provide a lot of other nutrition, and bad calories that offer nothing to your body, but that doesn't undermine the fact that you can't gain any long-term weight as long as you keep your total calorie intake (good and bad calories) below your calorie expenditure

Skewed anecdote:

There's a decent portion of the US military who I've seen fail height/weight standards from powerlifting themselves into being too muscley.

If your weight is too high compared to your height (BMI), they flag you. Then they wrap a tape measure around your neck, and your waist, and if your core is too thick comparatively, you get forced to cut weight. I've seen soldiers fight back, and successfully convince their command team to waive their "weight problem" by going out of their way to get BodPodded and proving they are as low as 12% body fat.

I don't know how much of an outlier the military population is statistically compared to the general US population, but by CDC standards these individuals count as "overweight" despite being incredibly in shape. I have zero faith and trust in the CDC's use of BMI to generalize a population's health level.

How so, I have a place to live now

Bro my car cost $4k, has no radio and manual windows, if this 20 year old civic can sell my data, it's earned it

I would love to live 5 minutes away from my workplace

But I saved about $300,000 on my mortgage when I bought a more rural house that isn't near the city/my office building

My job is 18 mountainy miles away, and when I show up drenched in bicycle sweat everyone in the office says I smell bad

Looks like '95 has 5% third party votes. The lower bound for visually representing votes here may be somewhere between 5% and 3% for the purposes of this graphic
