The Friday Connection: Large Fella on a Bike

A few weeks ago I shared a link to an inspiring story about a guy who literally saved his life by getting on a bicycle. Last weekend, as I was devouring an issue of Bicycling Magazine, I stumbled on the article Five Hundred & One Pounds about Scott Cutshall. Same guy.

There isn't any story better than the one with a good, strong ending. His story ends strong. He went from weighing over 500 pounds to transforming into a svelte 178 pound cyclist, riding over 6900 miles in 2008.  He just got on his bike and rode it . . . and is still riding it.


Can you imagine riding your bike year round? Wow.

The point of all this? He has a blog, or rather, had a blog. He isn't blogging any longer, but he was documenting his journey. If you can spare a couple of minutes and are looking for a little inspiration take a gander at: http://istanbultea.typepad.com/

Happy Friday friends!
