Thanks for sharing this article!

Your post made me giggle. I loved it. Sounds like we feel the same. I'm 50 by the way. Wish I had got a bike a lot sooner, but I guess it's better then never. I think I will go and ride it for the first time, when it's getting dark, but somewhere with light of course. I'm probably worrying and nervous for nothing. I gotta…

Wow! I feel like your talking about me. I haven't been on a bike in 35 years and I will probably also have to take it somewhere to make sure I won't fall on my face, in front of my neighbors. I am kind of self concious, thinking all the neighbors will be watching me and laughing. It's probably just in my head. From what…

I'm so sorry. I may have missed your reply to me. I do like the option of being able to bike indoors. I'm not a fan of exercise in the really freezing cold weather, that will be coming up this year. I don't like the gym too much, although I do go from time to time. Thanks for the ideas!

I hope I can still ride a bike. It's been 35 years, since I rode a bike outside. I know, sounds crazy.

That sounds great to me! Thanks!

Thanks! I watched the short video. Very neat and interesting piece of equipment. I like the idea of dog walking. I don't have a dog, but I do plan to get one in the near future. I love exercising in the fall, so that is something to look forward to. Definately over walking in the heat and humidity, although people say it's…

Thanks! I am waiting for my bike to arrive, but I wouldn't mind being able to bike indoors too, depending on the weather. I get about the tv thing. It does make time fly, when you get tired of watching the clock. I used to walk for an hour on my treadmill, before I started watching tv. I thought the hour would never end.

Thanks for all the info! Sorry I’m late replying. back.

Many years ago, I used to have a recumbent bike and I did enjoy it. I don't think I've have ever heard of animal crosssing. Time does go fast when you can do something else, while exercising. When I use my treadmill, I watch a movie, so an hour of walking goes fast. You're concentrating on the movie, instead of how much…

I just mean to help with the continued weight loss part. I have done tons of walking over the year and it has helped me to lose a lot of weight. I am wanting the biking to take the place of SOME of the walking. Getting bored with the same routine. I do plan to add some gym exercise soon and hopefully build more muscle. I…

Thanks! I hope to work up to a good speed and distance over time, to make some kind of difference.

Thank you! I would love for my biking to tone up my arms some. Hopefully it will. I live in Tn, so we do have lots of hills with our trails and I could head to the mountains which aren't far either.

Wow, everything in your post was well said. If only I could write as well as you did in your reply. I wish I lived near the beach, now that I am getting a bike. I lived near Fort Myers Beach in SW Florida years ago, but didn't have a bike back then. However, I live in Tn, so I can at least enjoy the hills and mountain/park…

That's ok, my friend! I am going to read your second post now.

First, love your bike! Thanks for sharing. You sound like a busy person. I have not been on a bike in 35 years. I hope I can still ride one. Lol Can't wait to get my bike and start exploring, as you seem to have with your bike. What type of bike is yours?

Never heard of Pelton. Will have to look that one up.

Oh, ok. Good to know. I guess you wouldn't get a workout for the upper body, so I will probably have to find something for that to add to my bike routine.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Also, I don't live in Texas, but I have visited North Dallas in the summer. You are right, it's HOT!

It's great to hear others who chose cycling, as their main exercise. I wasn't sure if it was enough, but I guess it is. I'm just trying to reach my weight loss goals, which I'm not far off right now.

Thanks for sharing! Will check out the links.

Thanks! That makes sense. I may have to add another type of exercise, with the biking. Just tired of the same ole thing.

I would have to agree with you! While I do like summer (when it's not crazy hot), I am looking forward to early fall and biking. I think for me, fall is my favorite time of the year.

First, sorry about your unfortanate past health issue. I hope you are past it and doing better. You sound as if you're getting a pretty good workout from biking. I hope to work up to that at some point. I haven't been on a bike in a long, long time. I just got bored with what I was doing, so wanted a change. They say…

That's awesome about your weight loss, just from biking alone. Your biking routine sounds about what I will be doing. Wishing you the best with your continued biking and weight loss journey!

Thanks! I also agree, that cycling is a fun and enjoyable exercise. I don't mind walking, but I get bored, if I'm just going around and around on a community park path, rather then some hiking trails. I think 500 calories for an hour of biking sounds great!

Hello, I know your post is a little older, but I saw you own a sixthreezero bike cruiser. Can I ask u a few questions? Did you buy in your local area or long distance? I have never purchase a bike far away from home. Do you have a single speed or multiple speeds? Can't remember if it's called gears or speeds) Lol Do you…

Thanks! I appreciate you sharing.

I think that is what's going on. I am just noticing it more, as the fat dissapears.
