And, no gym membership; cycling is great exercise.

Jeremy did sell the car later in the story to purchase his life-supply of baking soda. But I couldn't agree more about cycling. It can be very social also - if not a peloton, then cycling with one friend and stopping for cappuccinos (ideally near the top of a climb) and updating each other's week half-way through the ride. For exercise, nothing beats cycling, as it provides so much joy with the surrounding scenery that it is psychologically more sustainable (and even rejuvenating for the mind) than going to the gym. Most can continue training with cycling into their latest years also, when most other sports start to cause injuries. If only cycling, though, it is good to combine just a small amount of impact exercise (a perfect combination is probably some jumping up and down stairs, plus climbing an easy-to-climb tree occasionally, for example) to signal the body to develop the bone strength also.
