I joined the "Scooter Club"

15 lbs is nothing. It's certainly no reason not to exercise. You'd take that weight off in a single summer if you started biking to work. Now if you were 115 lbs. over weight, that'd be an excuse. 15 lbs. is a reason to ride a bike to work, not a reason to not ride a bike.

15 minutes on a real bike isn't even long enough to break a sweat.
Anyways, what do you plan on doing for nasty weather days now that your sole transportation is a scooter? ;)

In 100 degree heat with 95% humidity 15 minutes on a bike is plenty to get you sweating.

I drove cars w/o AC for years, and I guarantee I would sweat less on a 3 mile bike ride than in a 3 mile backroad drive in those conditions.

Exercising is on my "list of things to do". :) For Shmokes I'll try to get my weight down from 195 to 180 this summer. I have started going to spinning class. By the time that hour is over there's a pool of sweat around the bike, and that room is kept meat-locker cold. So a 15-minute bike ride is plenty of time for me to work up a sweat.
If I biked to work I probably would not be very pleasant-smelling when I got there. Clothing might be an issue, too, as jeans/slacks are not as easy to bike in as shorts, and changing out of and into shorts is a hassle and might cause a problem with the company dress code. There's also the issue of my not owning a bicycle.
For nasty weather days I can keep a change of clothes at the office in case I got wet.
