Messed up the tags here, apologies.

If you commit to run a couple times a week, you'll build up the endurance quicker than you might think. You might even get addicted; in which case I'd recommend buying a decent bicycle as it's all the joy with zero dread, for me. :)

For running, check out the couch to 5k regimine if you haven't already,

Downloaded the app. Today is my birthday as well and I had the same thought. July 6th for life

Sorry for the late reply. I love the flavors, and the convenience. Menthol and green tea menthol are great to me, and for a cartridge-based e-cig, it's relatively cheap.

Sorry, yes, that's what I meant.

I love the idea of separated bike lanes, but as a cyclist in Texas I've seen a lot of people in the cycling community voice concerns that it fosters the already overwhelming motorist attitude that "bikes do not belong on the road." I don't know if this is true or not. If a city committed to a comprehensive network of separated bike lanes by x year, I would think cyclists would find it worthy of enduring some years of even worse animosity when they're forced to share the road with cars or "take the lane." In many cities, no such plan is anywhere on the horizon. In cities like mine, Houston, sprawling and car-worshipping and full of hatred toward cyclists, it feels like a pipe dream.

I own a nice e-cig but the more aesthetically pleasing V2 cigs have actually been my favorite I've tried.
