- Nope. That's just an unrealistic fantasy and devoid of any fact.Morning_star
- riding a bike doesn't run on fat? and doesn't save you (gas) money? cars don't cost money? and cars don't make you fat? explain. :)Krassy
- I spend less on repairing my bike annually than I spent on fueling my car monthly.sarahfailin
- Riding a bike uses calories, not fat. Most bike riders are hobbyists and run cars too. Cars are the most efficient mode of transport for lots of people who...Morning_star
- ...don't have the opportunity to use public transport or bike or have a young family. Cars don't make you fat, laziness and apathy does. A car is a tool.Morning_star
- @Krassy: Bike riding runs on carbs, it's very hard and unreliable to use fat as fuel. Money is never used directly as fuel in either of those cases.deadsperm
- Source: I cycle everywhere and work as a guide for a cycling co. that organizes cycling tours all around the country.deadsperm
- you are both missing the point - this here graphic is a reminder that riding a bike to the nearby store (instead of hopping in your car) is a sound alternativeKrassy
- noone here would argue that bikes should replace cars :)Krassy
- I do argue that bikes should replace cars. I use public transport for longer distances. It's not feasible everywhere but I still think bikes should replace carsdeadsperm
- My bike runs on rhino essenceGnash
- You're the reason why dinosaurs are extinct!deadsperm
- very short distances = walk / skate/ pogo stick
short distances = bikes
long distances = cars (or public transport where/when avail)Krassy - I drive a 1 ton diesel everywhere. Except when I am going to drink, then i take my bike.eryx

- omg morning, it’s just exercise ffs, it definitely helps with the fat, which is a major store of ... ENERGYmonospaced
- And it’s a well known fact cars run 100% on money. There’s no way around it. And yes, fuel and money are pretty much the same in this scenario.monospaced
- I'm not arguing that fat isn't energy but that it's hard to use fat as energy. The body uses carbs first so fat as fuel is only used on really long distancesdeadsperm
- and it takes a lot training to adapt your body to using fat as fuel. Fat will not be used as fuel for the average person on their average commute.deadsperm
- One can also argue that humans run 100% on money. There's no way around it. Indeed, fuel and money are the same.
Let's change the system!deadsperm - Friendly reminder:
The only reason we're having this stupid discussion is because Krassy asked us to explain why "riding a bike doesn't run on fat?"deadsperm - Truemonospaced
- If I rode a bike it would run on fat. Hahaha.monospaced
- #FuelDysphoriadeadsperm
- Yawn. Reading into a meme to such lengths makes the "discussion" really dull. Biking more and car-ing less will make you save money and not get as fat. The End.Krassy
