Linda Ginenthal rides 3.5 miles to work in Portland and credits bike paths and city design for Oregon’s flat obesity rate. A Trust for America’s Health study notes 21 percent overweight in Oregon, lower than Alabama or Colorado, with urban planning shaping everyday activity. Portland offers a $25 monthly bonus for biking 80 percent of workdays, aiding Grnenthal’s 25 pound loss since the 1990s.
