No wonder America is getting fatter Today we had a warm spell so after going for a morning hike with the dog and hubby we decided to bike to the grocery store. It's only a mile from our house but we bike it as a loop to make it a bit longer, still only 3.4 miles which is a breeze. We get to the grocery store and spent the next 5 minutes looking for a bike rack to lock our bikes to. There wasn't one in the whole shopping center located right next to suburbia. We were very surprised, apparently it never occurred to anyone that people would want to bike the one mile there to shop. That type of thinking is why people in this country are getting fat.
