Life Is Becoming No More

I Would Like To Propose Slow Cycling. Commute By Bike. At A Stroke, You Remove The Need For And Absurd Cost Of Public Transport. Cycling Is Almost Completely Free. There Is No Longer Any Need For The Gym As You Get Fit By Cycling. And You Can Go At Your Own Pace.

The Reason Laziness Is Rarely Pushed As A Lifestyle Option Is Down To One Simple Reason: Money. There Are Fortunes To Be Made Out Of Active Lifestyles. Gyms Charge Fees. But No One Is Going To Make Money Out Of Sleep. It Is Free.
