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.

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.
