:help:im lost, what was the reason and/or the point to that comment? there are customs and private jokes in here that me as a brit just do not get at all, can someone help?

i am pleased to see more cyclists, i myself love cycling and used to compete alot until i got BIG, i also worked in various cycle shops in my teens. I thought id join the natter. The good thing about a bike is that it is usually rather painless way of doing cardio, i mean running always seems to hurt me (plus i only have feet with one speed). To thos worrying about the bum ache, my advice is that yr butt does get used to it by your 2nd or 3rd consecutive ride, some helpful aparatus would be. As suggested a gel saddle cover, or a gel saddle although the gel saddles are very restrictive to the motion of yr legs. What i find helpful is to buy the padded insert for under yr pants, these help cushion you. For people worring about a bike which will hold them, i £99 dual suspension will cope with alot of punishment, just ensure you tighten the rear coil as this can cause a very tough ride for the newbie as alot of yr exertion is absorbed in the suspension. Cycling is great at burning calories and i recommend it to anyone.

maybe itwould be a good idea to post acronyms here as i have been reading here avidly for a week and little lost with some of the TLA's going on. The ones i do not know are listed below, add if you wish. Maybe we could make a sticky? What is PB'ing NSV LBT VGB TOM all help appreciated

When i did the Atkins diet i got the same craving for Chocolate, i remember reading somewhere that caffeine reinforces cravings, so i cut out cofee and found it much easier to control, i remember chewing on a jaffa cake once without swallowing it and spitting the mush in the bin , also, Thorntons have a range of diabetic chocolate which is very rich, im not sure what calorific content it has but no carbs, if you have too much it gives you the splats

Wow, interesting. I'd love to know what's different about it. Not that I can do anything about it if it turns out to be better than what I already got! Hmmm...will bands start coming out with model years like cars?? "What do you have?" "I've got an '06 with 500 treadmill miles!! hehe, its when they start being traded by seconhand band dealers which would worry me. The advance in technology is huge for these bands it is making it a bit more difficult for me as i havent a date for my band to be done yet... i dont feel like being guinea pig, unless its free

i thought that, i just was worried that everyone might have gave up THANKS

hi, im a newbie and this is my first post. I have my initial consultation in Leeds next week so im doing some additional research through the forums etc to quell my niggling fears of making the wrong decision. While viewing peoples stories and posts i began noticing that nobody seemed to be about after 2 years, their blogs stopped, or they stopped posting. Have they wasted away to dust? i just cannot seem to find anyone who has had these in longterm? can someone put me at rest? does anyone here have a band thats been in for 3, 4, 5 years or more. I would love to hear from you.
