Yehuda says, “I love to eat.”
The first impulse is that Yehuda means “I would gain weight if I came to work by another means and did not get my exercise by riding the bicycle”… which in turn means that Yehuda *might* otherwise commute by car.
The other option that comes to mind is that Yehuda does not have much money and if he were commuting to work by some other means (car/public transit) it would force him to choose between feeding himself, feeding the farebox, or feeding the car’s gas tank.
This is a somewhat confusing cartoon that lends itself to a couple of different interpretations and neither of them jibes well with the Yehuda that we have come to know over the past years — the bicycling idealist who has decided that while cars may not be the source of all of mankind’s ills, mankind would still be better off without such a deep dependence on them — and turns him into someone whose pocketbook is forcing him to make the decisions that he does.
It is not a matter of loving bikes for Yehuda, nor is it an issue of gaining weight. Yeduda has to work to eat. He rides everywhere anyway. The commentary is he would ride bikes anyway, but he works to eat.
A health program on TV (“Trust me, I’m a Doctor”) tested eating before or after exercise and surprisingly, it is different for Men and Women….
Men lose weight better if they exercise BEFORE eating while Women do After exercise.
Since hearing that I have lost 10 KG while over the same time period I only lost 5 Kg when eating before my daily ride.
Does not work for me, I gain weight, no matter how far and fast I ride to commute.
Eating less is the only thing that helps…

Like all good art, it lets the viewer interpret the meaning. The meaning I got out of it made me laugh out loud. And it wasn’t anything you suggested.
Maybe he’s just kidding, bored of the same questions over and over again?

Live to ride, ride to work, work to eat, eat to live, repeat.
