I too cycle and will be doing that today inside the gym of course as with snow it is a little hard not to crash and slide. For me, cycling helped me loose about 1/3 of my body weight over time, improved my health, lowered my lipids and improved my mind and body. It really has changed my life as I found a new self reliance and confidence. Like the analogy.

And a boat attached behind all of that. There is much more to your analogy than meets the eye...this is not just a call to fiscal responsibility, but a call to "slimming down" our clutter - people's lives are just too complicated.
