I was pleasantly surprised last year when I rode my bike that I could actually peddle my fat ass up a hill on a single speed boardwalk bike! Good for you - I know it is hard work but it feels good to do something physical! :D
My dad retired from IBM after 37 years and became a born again bicycler. So much so that he opened a bike shop and ran it for ten years until my mom finally threw the bullshit flag and forced him to retire. He always said it was the greatest exercise out there to help your physical and mental health. I would do it but I can't seem to keep those tiny bike seats from going up my butt. Keep up the good work!
Daisy, it does feel good, but I was surprised at how HARD it is to just pedal a bike!
WBT, good for both of us. :)
(Thanks Cadbury!) I hope so too!
MsQ, that bike seat thing is one of the benefits of my new bike... sitting upright makes a huge difference on how fast you get cut in half by the seat. LOL Harder to pedal but much easier to sit on.
You go girl! Riding a bike is great exercise. Now if I could just get some inspiration from you to get off my butt and move on a daily basis, that would be great. Thanks! :0 )
Chanda, It's easy to be lazy... for all of us! I think the sunshine helps me push myself more. So it's just a matter of finding out what helps you push yourself... maybe just schedule a time with a friend so you HAVE to do it? Good luck!
Hey - I got a bike for mom's day too. Of course I had to get one with a comfort seat - for the big butt. I like it - but boy did I realize how out of shape I am in. Keep on pedalin'! :)
