To be quite honest, it sound like you’re overweight and lazy. Which isn’t a crime. But you don’t need to justify that laziness by pretending it’s impossible for normal people to cycle any distance unless they’re fitness freaks.
I'm in fantastic shape for a person my age. I don't want to pedal to work everyday. Some days I'm tired. I also don't want to have to take a shower, change clothes, or de-stink myself before the work day.

It's great that you've managed to turn your commute into a workout. That's not for everyone.

I'm seriously considering buying a scooter. I plan to ride it on the bike pathways, as riding it on the roads is just too dangerous.
