So I stopped riding a bike when I was in 9th grade and the weight kept increasing so I refused 2 ride bc I would look "dumb" well my husband bought me a bike and a ride along for my baby for his bike so we can do it together well last night I did it I rode the bike was a little shakey but I did it.

Did you have fun? I am in my mid-fifties, but riding a bike makes me feel like a little kid!

Enjoy and congrats! Oh how I miss bike riding. Just three years ago I was mountain biking and riding 50 mile stretches after losing 130 pounds. Mountain biking is such a rush and became such a passion. But a hip injury and 80 pounds put an end to it. I am hoping after surgery I can be out there again next Spring.

I love my bike! I ride often and it's the most relaxing "exercise" I could ever do.

Good for you! I just started riding my bike again too and I love it! 50 pounds ago I was uncomfortable riding and my tires kept going flat (lol). Now I enjoy it so much and it will help us to keep losing too!

We plan to get on our bikes here soon too!! we just moved so we need to find them and get air in the tires...the kids LOVE riding their bikes so it's time for momma and daddy to get on ours and go for a nice long ride!

I love to ride and have ridden even though I wasn't the weight I wanted to be. I have a hybrid bike for bike paths and light off-road riding. I was thinking about buying a lighter weight bike -- mine is 26 pounds -- because it is a little heavy on the road. Well, now that I'm down about 33 pounds, it's amazing how much lighter my bike is!

I agree -- riding bikes is just downright fun if done the right way -- with people you like to be with, in beautiful places and at a pace where you can throw your legs out and say "Weeee......" sometimes.

I started cycling this season/summer. I ride once a week about 25 miles. I really enjoy it and it is a good way to burn calories because I am not a runner. In 2 weeks i am riding in a fundraiser...40 miles.

I have fallen in love with cycling. Training for my first triathlon and the cycling part has become my favorite.

I just started riding a few months back and I love it. I've tried other exercises and haven't found any I like better than cycling.

I am buying a bike as well. Test rode a bike on a 5 mile bike trail where I live after riding the bike at the gym for 10 miles. The real bicycle was way more fun and the intensity was great, it was an awesome workout.
