Lexington: "America's 'Most Sedentary' city" (Winchester, London: neighborhoods, to buy)

[Hey_Hey]

I have no doubt that Lexington ranks in the bottom half of the country. It would be interesting to see where Lexington ranks in regards to the percentage of people who regularly exercise because that's the key indicator. Instead they've inserted absurd sedentary measures like DVT rates and video game sales.

This is similar to ranking a city's activity level by measuring only percentage of people who belong to a health club or measuring the literacy rate of a city by measuring the number of libraries per capita in a city. Forbes has used both of those measures in the past.

That zing you heard wasn't Superman, it was the point of this discussion going over your head.

I took a little bike ride this morning, no Bulls watching. When I lived in Lexington cycling was a pain in the ass, here it's a pleasure.

Love your zinger statement! Haha!

Even more so, I love your pics. Makes me want to bike in Chicago.

This seriously made me laugh.

No, not the pics or the bike, either.

If you're so inclined, try biking in the bike lane along E. Main/Richmond Road (and the bike lanes aren't even completed, either) from downtown to Jacobson Park and get back with me. I've never attempted it, nor would I. Too many incompetent Lexington drivers might try to "skeer" me.

All you see is the bike, eh?

Here's a photo I took while I was cycling last night. No bike to distract you.

The picture is supposed to show you on the bike while cycling, working up a sweat......ok?

Were you swimming when you took that pic?

Nah, when I go cycling I stop here for a swim, off the rocks at 55th St. 4 or 5 times a week a get in a 15 to 20 mile ride along the lake ranging between 68th St. and the River. Much nicer cycling than was available in Lexington where I ran back and forth on Hays Blvd and toodled around Jacobson Park.

I rode my bike to the near Hamburg Walgreens once, people looked at my like I was crazy.
