    I read it but should have addressed.

    I used to hate when people asked me the weight loss secret. You are right, the only way to really lose is to eat well for your body. Great read!

    This thread couldn't be more correct. I ride my bike 15 miles each day. It has helped me to lose nearly 50lbs over the past 7 months. However, as my diet has edged towards the bad side lately, the weight loss has stopped. I haven't gained any weight, but am not currently losing either.

    I'm not into bike riding because of the pressure it puts pressure on the johnson. ED is higher in athletes who bike for exercise than for those who don't.
    Leather Brooks Saddle or many good anatomical vinyl saddles take care of that.

    Yeah, you gotta eat less too. But look at it this way - it is a lot cheaper to lose weight than buy a lighter bike. That's why I don't care that my commuting bike weight 40 lbs what with the folding baskets, fenders, and generally being a 1974 Raleigh. When I am at my goal weight, I might buy a lightweight.
