Use to follow her on IG. Too much thirst trapping for me. Demi Vollering is away better follow cause she actually post interesting shite and is also a phenomenal cyclist.

She has the same body I had at 12.
15,000 calories come in every day and then she burns 18,000. She's losing weight.

It is impossible to burn 18,000 Kcal calories in a day

This threads gone about the way I figured it would.

Or cyclist could ride closer to the edge so that you’re not hit by a car passing a cyclist in the opposite side of the road.
Or you could just pay attention. Imagine that.

A ribeye and baked potato would serve her well.

She probably consumes more calories a day than most of the people on here, and that's taking into consideration how fat La is.

Was she impeding the flow of traffic?

One would think given a Queen stage of a Grand Tour is usually about 8,000 Kcal burned but there was an energy turnover study done on a RAAM rider, I think it was Marcel Knaus, who AVERAGED just under 18,000 Kcal burned per day over the ~10 days of RAAM. IIRC the ride produced an over 80,000 Kcal deficit over the course of the race.
Solo RAAM riders are absolute freaks though.

That suck...
Hopefully she doesn't ride like many cyclists who want to be treated as a vehicle on the road yet refuses to obey the law like vehicles on the road. Many feel they do not need to stop for stop signs, red lights, pulling out in traffic, etc

2019 Tour de France winner Egan Bernal is in the ICU in Bogota after he hit a stopped bus while on his time trial bike going about 37 mph. Ouch!
Had surgery on his femur, knee and spine, with more to come. He fractured vertebrae, his right femur, his right patella and ribs, as well as suffering chest trauma and a punctured lung.

He has to be done. No way he comes back professionally from that

He posted an update today thanking God that he's not going to be a paraplegic or dead. He said there was a "95% chance" he wasn't going to walk again and he's thankful his doctors saved him from that.

Tell your congressman to change the law if thats how you feel
The issue isn't the law...
If people didn't want to be hit by cars, and most all are complete accidents, they shouldn't be riding on the road.
Same reason I tell my son not to ride a motorcycle...it ain't you, it ain't the law, it's everyone else.
Your chances of survival drastically increase in a car.

None of this is related to the point Cosmo was making.
Cyclists especially avid cyclists understand the risks. It is a risk we are willing to take.
You mention "complete accidents" there are very few collisions on the road that are "on-purposes" whether a bicycle is involved or not. However, the word accident in terms of road collisions rarely means that all the people involved are blameless. I can accidentally cut my leg off with a chainsaw, while I didn't set out to do it I likely am at least partly to blame.
I understand cyclists can be irritating on occasion even when they are doing everything legally but on a daily basis, especially in places like LA, inconvenience during one's travels are multiple magnitudes more likely to be caused by vehicle drivers than a cyclist if for no other reason than just numbers.
