You're going to eat it sooner or later, you're going to have to give it time. I've been cycling 4 years seriously and recently switched brands of cleats. Ate *kitten* on my new Carbon bike twice now, debating going back to speedplay.

Excellent and Welcome...

Safety Harbor...

3500 I'm at 1409 as of this morning.

I've used them all. Strava is my choice. Also remember Garmin partnered with Strava, that speaks volumes.

Safety Harbor/Clearwater Welcome!

I ride front and bike brakes on my fixed. Don't care if that doesn't make me cool, Brakes have saved my life for sure where skid stopping wouldn't of been enough.

Nothing wrong with those bikes at all as long as you're having fun.

I initially bought the bike as trainer and never looked back. I sold my other bikes after they started collecting dust. Building a Cyclocross/Touring bike for 2017 but that's a whole other story.

I have about 5,000 miles on this bike, about 6 something total since starting 3 years ago. Bike commuting 5-6 miles each way when I can, normal fun ride is 30-40 now. I'll grind 50-60 some once in a blue moon. You start small and go from there, I remember a 10 mile ride murdering me.

Fixed gear actually, no coasting

I have around 5000 miles on my fixed gear bike. Bought this as a trainer and never turned back. I am building a cyclocross/touring bike but I'm never giving up the fixed gear. If you want to get strong as F*** on a bike pick up a fixie. If you want to lose weight faster pick up a fixie

Welcome!

Safety Harbor/ Clearwater

My friends always ask me what bike to buy, I have couple thousand of commuting miles under my belt. This is Florida after all, I know bay shore/South Tampa area well and bike all over the city often. An Older Road bike is your friend and can do everything you need. Mountain bikes and Hybrids are pigs for commuting, they're…

Clearwater/Safety Harbor Run, Jog, Walk, Swim, Bike or whatever... Doing the work regardless the more the merrier HMU Theo

More before and afters...

An old doctor told me few years back that fitness is with your feet and weight loss is with your mouth. That was sort of the catalyst that got me going.

Thanks You! Yes same glasses, wish I had took more before photos now. I was a bit camera shy back then

Bump

Since I started in 2013 I've gone through 20 tubes... It happens, if it gets bad there are options like liners and all those puncture resistant tires. I was about your size when I stared now down in the 230's I found that 28's really helped with the quality of the ride. I've rode 23's for a long time and the flat factor…

You can do it!
