Losing Weight Through Biking
Credit Mark Cornelison / Lexington Herald-Leader
Bill Cole of the Bluegrass Cycling Club rolled down Pisgah Pike on a Sunday bike ride. He pedals 150 miles a week
Five years ago, Bill Cole weighed 420 pounds, had little strength and less endurance, and generally avoided physical exercise. Five years later, Cole has cut his weight roughly in half. He now weighs a little more than 200 pounds. He eats small portions of healthy foods only and is a hard-core bicyclist who pedals 150 miles a week, leads rides around Central Kentucky several times a week and tirelessly spreads the word that physical activity is a key to good health.
