Has anyone taken up Bycyling?



Recommended Posts

I looked into getting one of those types of bikes. The landrider. We researched it and chose to start with a hybrid bike and take the hills slow, and build our strength. I still have issues with hills, but am getting so much stronger the longer I do them. It isnt always about how fast you get there, just that you get there.

I walked a whole bunch of hills when I first started, now I can get up the ones I struggled with 2 and 3 months ago.

I am planning on upgrading to a road bike too...just not right now.

Good luck with your shopping....what kind were you looking for if you dont mind my asking???

Got my fill today...he added another 1cc....we will see.He was pleased with my loss, and my riding, so as long as I am loosing I a happy..

D....I bet you were in heaven on the bike..that is just wonderful...

Well...I am late getting home, so I am going to get ready for bed.

See ya all later

You guys just don't know how tempted I am to drive back up to Indiana and re-ride that course on the new bike.

D, I will give you one guess as to who was the first to spot the bra and panties!!!!

Kickboxing is super fun and an amazing sweaty workout. The morning after kickboxing....not so much fun and not so fascinating sore muscles.

Someone please, please put me out of my misery.

BG, I think you and kickboxing were made for each other! Pickle Juice or time will ease the pain. Way To Go on the ticker move you are (kicking) ASS!

HP, the new bike is amazing. It has a lot of carbon Fiber so its light, but it also has vibration dampers throughout. The handle bars are what will help me ease into road bycyling. They are at a neutral position right now, like a mountain bike. When I get used to this adjustment from recumbent, we will adjust the bars down into a more aggressive posture. Once I get used to that we will put road bike handle bars on it and it will be a traditional road bike.

The pedal are the toe clip deals I don't like the straps and will eventually take them off and put a set of the click style pedals on. I am going to have to wait for a couple paychecks to come, I just bought a Honda EX Four Wheeler.

Hi all

CONGRATUALATIONS on the 2 pound BG. I'm envious of the workout. You can keep you sore muscles though. Wench outfit? It's a little early for Halloween...are you into role playing or something?

JC

Damn man, you buy lots of toys! Holy Crap. But you have fun with them too, and that's what it's about.

HP

Glad to see the fill and the doc visit went well.

Hey B, Hey D!

HP, I make a fair amount of money, but I save in a lot of ways too. Both of my vehicles are older but they are paid for and I could live in a bigger house but the one I am in will be paid for soon as well. I am concerned however that I have traded eating for spending and I do need to get a grip on that, but this new 4-wheeler is soooo cool. LOL

BG, I know where you are coming from on the Pickle Juice thing, but it does give relief. I think you are just into the pain thing. Remember, happiness is someone leaving a Mag Light in your chair! LOL

I also think a wench is a good choice, or.... a Detroit Linebacker.

On second thought maybe I should have said tight end! I don't want you kicking my ass for suggesting the wrong position.

I just got here.

I've actually been doing a little work at work, in the kitchen.

Do you all realize I work in a mother effin kitchen?! I know you do because I talk about it all the time, But for f's sake...It's a perpetual struggle.

Really, it could be worse, there are many times I don't care, but today the smell of bacon is in the air...

Complaining is over.

You know if you give up carbs you can eat bacon....

Hell no I do not do that role playing shit. The wench outfit is for a wedding. Dan's weird friends have decided it is a renassaince theme so the guest have to come in costume. I am waaaay too cool for that but hopefully I won't see anyone I know lol jk. At least the corset will make me look thinner with huge boobs. I need some boobs. Or a mag light in my chair...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
