Dangle, you and mer should join a gym together and force the other to go. I have the getting up early part down. We could go before waking the kids up - three times a week. Let me know.

Man, get some weights. You don't have to choose between bicycling and weight training. They compliment each other. I started lifting in my late 30s and it has really improved my life. I'm in my 40s and will never be a body-builder but I look and feel better than I did at age 30. Lifting increases you metabolism and it increases your testosterone levels. Pushups and stuff like that are also great. Muscles are good!

There's something extra insulting about people who drive like lunatics and then, as they're speeding off, you notice their peace-sign bumper sticker.

My morning commute this morning here in Portland featured a light snowstorm, black ice and a guy in a Subaru tailgating me.

I gave him one of my devastating dirty looks.

You're around my age and maybe as disinclined toward regular exercise as me --which is why the bike thing is such a great option. In some ways it's hard to get into the habit of riding instead of driving, but you just have to stick to it and pretty soon it becomes part of the routine. I hope to still be riding when I'm an old man... er, older man.

Thanks Larsen. I have an old Cannondale that I ride. I need a new lock though. Mine's heavier than my bicycle. It's great to bike here except for angry old Berkeley hippies who grind you into dust with their Priuses covered with bumper stickers.

Lloyd: You'll be around stirring up shit for a long time to come, I predict.

As for exercise, you don't need weights --you just need to get yourself a bike and use it. The east bay is great for biking, and I understand there are a few people there already who do so. (Maybe they'll invite you to one of their vegan potlucks or something.)

You need some regular cardio to get your blood and aspirin pumping. And a device that actually goes somewhere is way better than one that merely simulates going somewhere.
