Not gonna lie, Pavarotti made Bono look sound like a contestant at a small town karaoke night.
Not that he was awful - but they're just not in the same class.

I'm trying to stop being one of those inactive developers. My doctor says that walking 30 minutes a day can make a big difference.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I live about six km from my office (I hand-picked it myself though) and I make it a thing that I cycle to the office every day.
Even when I have an appointment in the morning or afternoon, I take the car to my appointment, drive back home, and take the bike from there.
I even bought a fairly expensive rain coat so I can take my bike even when it rains (I used to have a plastic one, but that means you'll be dripping from sweat instead of rain).
It helps me greatly that cycling to work also fills a practical task, getting to the office

You don't need to worry about stroke or heart disease, but what about motorized vehicles?
My wife is a nurse in a same day surgery unit. They get bicycle riders with broken bones every day.
Please be careful!

I'm from the Netherlands, we have more bikes than people and more people than cars and lots of bicycle lanes.
In biking Netherlands, bicycle hits you

But since they are never going downhill it doesn't hurt.

You may think so, but... Ah who am I kidding, you're right!
When I was still in school, I had to cross a bridge (one of the world famous Delta Works, actually): Haringvlietdam[^]
The entire right lane is a bicycle/tractor lane (there aren't many tractors there, but being next to one was pretty scary as there wasn't a lot of room left).
The main road was closed a few times and cars had to drive the bicycle lane, not the most enjoyable trips either
Anyway, to get up there you had to climb up (or go down) a slope.
When cycling to school I measured a top speed of around 40 km/h on a regular bike when going down hill (and having stormy winds in my back).
I once had to walk up that slope when I had a similar wind coming from my front, took me two hours to get home that day (from a normal trip of around 45 minutes).
I have two slopes on my current trip to work, one going down a tunnel that goes under the road (so bikes can cross safely) and one going up a dyke, but it's not steep.
They're nothing compared to getting up on that bridge, which is nothing compared to what I've seen in other countries

I still occasionally cycle the country near where I live in southern England. Plenty of hills to challenge me going up, but fun going down. The fastest I have ever been on a bike was 40 MPH (~65 kph) going downhill on a straight clear road in Dorset; but quite a few years ago when I was fit.

What do you do when it gets cold, snow etc.?

It doesn't get really cold over here, coldest I've ever cycled in was around -12C, but that's like 20 years ago and it hasn't been that cold since.
But if it gets colder, like < 10C, I put on a cap and gloves and the cycling will get me warm.
I don't even own a (good) winter coat anymore, although I think I'll get one for the times I'm outside while not moving or moving less.
We have little snow, but when we do even lots of cycling lanes are cleared by the local government.
The ones that aren't cleared... Well, let's just say it makes the trip a lot more interesting

It helps that there aren't uphill there

Thanks for the warning ... I must admit, I am far off-mark for both, but I work hard on it ...

I find this set of Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 MFC reference library on ebay. its tag price is $90.
I am only interested in the MFC library reference Volume 1&2, so I am not willing to pay the tag price. not ready to give up, then I searched and find this set in thrift book with only $8.00. I order this set yesterday night.
Recently I am interested to know the origin of MFC library and try to pick something legacy. I am amazed to see MFC library still works well and evolves nowadays.
diligent hands rule....
