My unrealistic long term goal is stop exercising.

Instead I want to live an active lifestyle.  Pointless, repetitive bike rides would be replaced with bike commuting.  Running errands would involve… running.

All my outdoor work has always been human-powered except for the electric weed wacker.  I don’t own a snowblower or leaf blower.

I’ve got a 1960s reel lawn mower — the singlespeed of the lawncare world.  As I once quipped to a passerby, it keeps me and my lawn trim.  And trust me, getting this through 4-inch wet grass is quite the workout.

But this whole active lifestyle theme can be taken too far.  It seems “Homeless Dave” from Ann Arbor proves that with his bike-powered laundry machine where he puts the spin in the spin cycle.
