hi all - im new and into fitness

[xveganbikerx]

just thought id give ashout out to all you kick ass vegans

One thing i think that is really important is for vegans to look extremely healthy and be fit. i like the toned/muscular look. my goal is to be really fit within 1.5-2 years. the more healthy looking vegans we can show the world, the more they will either be more receptive to listening to us, or, we can walk around looking good and making people jealous. imagine that! some fatty eating a burger while we look hot as hell. nice huh?

I so agree with what you're saying. And the reality is that there are many vegans/raw foodists who look ethereal and very slight in build, almost like they are starving themselves.

Of course, for some people that's just how their genetic make-up is.

Hi Scout.

I like your plan. Nice to have another prosletyser for the vegan nation!

lets break the scrawny stereotype.

[Chris]

I agree too. Believe it or not people are going to judge you on your looks. If you look good they might want to know how. If you say you are a vegan you might have their attention and interest for a little longer than if you didn't look so healthy. Nice to have you here veganbiker.

I'm too old to care about how I look. But I'm right there, dude, when it comes to surprising people and shattering their pathetic little myths about "those anemic, wimpy veg*ns". As a cyclist I actually look pretty scrawny in street clothes, and have been skinny and short all my adult life. But that makes it all the more fun to astonish people by opening a peanut butter jar that has foiled them, or throwing 50 lb of cat litter over my shoulder, or hefting a 45-lb tandem onto a car roof rack without blinking.

So let 'em have their stereotypes; our actions will shatter them more decisively than any words.

Anyway, welcome vb; I'd offer to ride with you, but I'm, like, two time zones away. Ride on; don't let the smog get ya!
