Riding is great and all, but I have to admit that I grew to my heaviest while I was riding the most. Well, maybe after my riding peak, to be specific, but these days, I ride a fraction of what I used to (to the point where I'm considering selling all my bikes but one), yet I'm 40-50 pounds lighter. Riding a lot mostly just makes you a better rider; eating better can make you lighter.
