fern 195 Posted May 2, 2011 OMG!! im so excited!! ok. First a bit of background. I'm at about 9 weeks out and 48lbs lost. my reward for myself at 50lbs. was to buy a bike. i have a beautiful 7 year old weimaraner who I cannot keep up with on walks. She's a hyper dog unless we can tire her out. I've always wanted a bike that i can ride with her and not have the fear of her pulling me over and injuring us both. i came to the conclusion that i needed a recumbant (sit down) bike, where my center of gravity wont allow her to pull me over. So i was cruising craigslist and found....wait for it.... a freaking ADULT BIG WHEEL!!!!! it is so something i would never have had the guts to do before surgery, nor could i have ridden it because it has a 200lb limit I'm sitting at 178 now.. I felt like such a kid when i was trying it out, and you know what? That felt sooo good!!! I can't figure out how to add pics, but i figure, once i actually have Keala (our pup) used to it, i"ll get my hubby to take a pic then. Now i just need to wait til tomorrow to buy a helmet so I can start riding!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
