Just Braggin' - Got Me A New Bicycle!



Recommended Posts

Hey Rootman, here's some of mine. Don't laugh at my short shorts. The wind was blowing them up.

The second one is my wife on my Dahon folding bike.

BUMP: Added a pic to the original post, not sure if just editing a post would put it back in the NEW list so I added this bump to force it.

You are a total Fred (someone who can really ride but doesn't dress like it). Me too. No Lycra or spandex for me.

Thanks! I still don't like clothing that's very tight. It's funny to pass the guys wearing the full "costume" in my denim shorts and polo shorts. I may break down and get a "real" bike jersey just to get something in chartreuse for visibility.

I just bought a bike today. How awesome to find this thread.

I bought a cute girls Huffy Cranbrook Cruiser. I'm not ready for anything more serious. I'm just looking for more activities to get me out of the house and moving. My next toys will be quad skates and then a kayak so I can get out on the lake. :)

I did take the Huffy on her maiden voyage this evening. I made it around the block (two city blocks?) and home safely. It was fun. I was quickly reminded of a few muscles I'd forgotten about. I can't wait for my next ride tomorrow and if I get decent stamina by the weekend I'll load her up and hit up one of the local trails. I'm so excited. :)

Yay for bikes! I did bike in a skirt and nylons for my commute, the girl bike "dip" wasn't that helpful. I've chewed through so many bikes in the last few years, but this thread has inspired me to start looking for my next baby.

Yay for quad skates too! Am I the only person who aspires to join a roller derby team?

I would love to roller derby!!! However I'm kind of a weenie girl when it comes to pain and I'm terrified of dislocating a joint (I've had a dislocated elbow... Worst pain ever!). All of that being said, a girl can dream. And where I live right now I'm not too far from a derby team or two. I guess when I'm ready I could at least audition. :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
