Totally correct. USA is a nation of fat slobs. The entire south & midwest, I've heard, never leaves their homes. Just sit and talk and eat and watch TV and eat and talk and eat and eat and eat. That's why we call them the flyover states. |

The only city that even comes close is Portland. |

Deiradella User ID: 5531319 United States 07/28/2012 12:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How hot are your summers? Even if I worked close to where I live, I could never bike to work in the summer because I would arrive drenched in sweat and in need of a new set of clothes! Quoting: ANHEDONIC Between 50 - 70 F humidity 50-60 If you bump the humidity up to 80%, that's April weather here in the Southeast. Summer, it's 95-110 F with either 20 or 90% humidity depending on what fronts are coming through. Even then, you still see a few folks biking closer into the cities. We'd get more folks cycling if the roads were set up for it. The few who do risk getting run over, especially on the back roads heading into and out of the city limits. Things aren't even set up well for walking except just in the downtown area and the one pedistrian overpass they built for one of the middle schools. Plus, there do tend to be a lot of teritorial dogs out in the county that will go after cyclists, walkers, and runners. It's the main reason you typically see walkers on the county back roads either carrying a sawn off broom handle or a pistol, and I've given up trying to go walking. The last time I tried was shortly after we bought our house, and I had two different large dogs start after me before I'd even gotten within fifty yards of their owner's property. That's not even counting coyotes, which have been getting more brash every year, and the odd and end half domesticated dog breed, half coyote pups some morons decide to raise. I'll stick to my collection of workout DVDs and weights, thanks. They're less effective, truth be told, but they're safer than trying to cycle, walk, or run where I happen to live. |
