Chelenka 827 Posted July 24, 2013 Just a few observations: - The rear tire didn't go flat the moment I sat on the bike! LOL! - It was MUCH easier than the last time I rode which was last Fall weighing approx. 315lbs. - I could ride a lot faster (less drag I guess) and was in a higher gear. - was able to stand up on the little hills (no big hills on the gentle trail I was riding) and it didn't totally wind me. I used to sometimes make it up the hills by leaning way forward but I was always afraid to stand up before because I had to slow down so much. I often had to get off the bike and walk it up the hills. - I had fun and can't wait til next time! pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2; 5 month post-op 262.6 3 carstanger, Brenda0928 and Kimmy1813 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
