Whe you make driving essential walking and cycling become a luxiury.

  Yes, exactly. Which is probably part of why Americans are so overweight, on average. It's a lot easier to get people to exercise if they just do it as part of their normal daily errands; relatively few people have the self-discipline to go to the gym consistently all their lives.

    Weight is lost in the kitchen rather than the gym. It takes nearly an hour on a bike to burn off one big mac, so it's very easy to overeat so much that you can't make up for it.

      Diet is more important, but exercise is still very useful, and not solely for weight loss, it improves general health too.
