You wouldn't laugh at a fat guy going to the gym.

The lady is cycling to work each morning. The initial impetus might have been bad, but she's doing a lot better than most people. Once she gets into the habit of cycling, she's a lot less likely to stop than if she's laughed at for it. It might also help her realise the truck isn't worth the hassle.

Youre getting downvoted because you are correct.

I haven't seen it that way, but you're right actually. Good for her that she saw reason and is now using a bike.
