Yes, I bought a new bike that I can comfortably ride. I am so proud that my weight loss has allowed me to engage in a activity I use to throughly enjoy. When I was at my highest weight I couldnt comfortably ride a bike and was embarassed by my weight. Friday I was one month post op and decided I needed to start exercising. Having heel spurs causes me great difficulty walking. However, I was advised that with continual weight loss this will improve. Last nite I rode for 20 mins and have no soreness today. I know bicycling will require me to at least ride an hour before I begin burning calories. I am just so excited I can enjoy riding again and with my 11 yr old son.

Congratulations! Finding an exercise we really enjoy is very important. Keep it up!

Great job finding an exercise you like! I'm thinking about buying a bike also. CONGRATS!

That's wonderful :-) I'm asking for a bike for my Mother's Day gift.

I am sure you'll really enjoy your new bike. I bought a bike last summer before my surgery to increase my exercise activity options. My town has a pretty nice bike path that travels arounds the town and a college campus. Its been fun getting back into biking. It had been 15+ years since I rode a bike. It was comical when I went to a bike store to try a few out, on a bumpy dirt road in back of the store. I was so hoping that saying about "once you learn to ride a bike you never forget" was true. I was pretty woobley and uncoordinated at first. My 2 sons thought watching their 45 year old mom attempt to ride a bike after so many years was waaaay hysterical. The sales guy said "Why do I feel like this is going to end up on Youtube?" Have fun and dont forget your helmet.

Even 20 minutes on the bike will burn calories and speed up your metabolism. Keep it up. I'm up to 20 miles a day and I'd like to do a century ride before the end of the year.

This is great news for you and me both. I had both knee's replaced last year, but with sleep apnia, and a shortness of breath, I couldn't exercise much. I had a hard time just walking out to get my newspaper. Since I have had the sleeve, I have lost about 35 lbs. and am not out of breath that much. Improving everyday. I was in Walmart the other day and looked a bike. I need to do some exercise and have decided to get one. What kind of bike did you get?? I'm still heavy, 319, and am a little embarrassed to get help getting the right bike. I guess I'll just have to grin and bare it, but am excited to be doing something for my self.

Awww so awesome! Happy riding

I got a cruiser.. no speeds, seat is larger, tires are larger. It works for me for now.

It is my plan to buy one this summer. I wanted one last year but didn't go through with it. A great way to get the workout in and enjoy the weather when it's nice.

Please, what brand and name of bike and what store did you get the bike? I need to get one soon! thanks!

I got my bike at Walmart. Not sure about the name though.

That's great! What kind of bike did you get? I have been thinking about buying a bike too now that the weather is getting nice and I'm losing weight.

Last time I tried to ride a bike was unpleasant. I felt re-donkulous, little bike, big person. My husband had bought a "big girl seat" for me which made things slightly less uncomfortable. However, I noticed the bike tires looked flat. I got off to check and they were not flat, just flattened by my weight. Good times...

I hope that I will once again be able to ride bikes with my kiddos after surgery (fast approaching). Anyhow, congratulations, guess this is an nsv, yes?
