I lost all my weight on a bike. I began at 235+lbs (I had stopped weighing after that) and started at a little under a mile a day. I'm 152lbs (Still losing!) and still ride like a mad man. I do road cycling and I do mountain biking, depending on the time of year.

Bike riding can be an amazing weight loss helper. It became what I was good at and became my life very quickly. Good luck!!!!

I ride my bike to the gym, grocery store and take spin classes.

I bought a recumbent trike last summer and have hit the rails to trails as much as I could (until the weather got too cold . A recumbent is incredibly easy on the back and backside, and I couldn't believe how quickly I was able to add miles to my personal best. By the end of the fall season I was doing 20+ mile rides and tours. I have never been athletic so this is a big deal for me. Good luck with your cycling. I would say, the number one most important this is, find a bike that fits your height and go to a bike shop for help and advice. Number two most important- some bike shorts with padding if you're doing a regular bicycle. My husband got me into recumbents because he has a two wheel bent because of his back surgeries. I can't wait for the warm weather to come back!
