"I Lost 331 Pounds"
[ I love inspirational stories like this; Scott could only walk 10 steps before needing a rest but some how a bike gave him the motivation to continue. An excerpt from the article:]
Brown, based in Minneapolis, built a steel bike for Cutshall and delivered it in early 2005. But Cutshall was so afraid of breaking it that it sat in his hallway for months, gathering dust. Finally, on Thanksgiving Day, he had an epiphany. He prepared a feast for his family, and only ate a few bites. Then, he took his bike outside and rode 1.9 miles. It took him three hours. From then on, he was hooked.
