Why Americans Are Fat

It’s no secret that obesity is a problem in America. Today I found this great infographic with lots of details on this subject.
Instead of looking at these stats as discouraging, I think it’s fantastic motivation to get on a bike. With the holidays upon us especially, the best way to keep those holiday pounds at bay is to go riding. Did you know that a 180lb person can burn nearly 500 calories in just 1 hour of easy riding? That’s an easy way to counter that second-helping of stuffing.
