Well I got a bike, nothing fancy and old hand me down. But I love riding it. I cant go very far yet. But 35 pounds down and I can ride again. I forgot how much I love riding. We are looking for one for my hubby this weekend. Im sure he can out ride me. But I don't care. I can ride a bike! I think this is the most motivation ive had in a long time. Just wanted to share this.:glasses:

    Biking is great fun. I've been riding for years and am back out again this year. Its great exercise and fun wrapped all in one. You also burn lots of calories. Keep building slowly and before you know it you will be riding long an far.

    Riding a bike is a great way to get a good workout! For me, being bone on bone on both knees, I can ride better than I can walk, it's freedom!

    Yay! This is a great post! It's wonderful to hear how much you are enjoying your bike.Keep on peddling and those pounds are going to fall off! I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I love to ride but I hate how it makes my tush feel. All that cushion I have back there...it makes NO SENSE! LOL

    you need a proper pair of cycling shorts and possibly a new seat. seat covers are pointless. also, chamois cream.

    Wait, you mean to say you can lose weight while sitting down?

    What sorcery is this...

    Awesome!! This ^^ was my feeling too when I bought a new bike. Bike riding makes me feel like a kid again, and at my age, that is saying something!
