I am looking at a Bianchi Volpe for doing some trails and commuting around town. I am hoping to get into good enough shape to do a century at the end of August. I'm just really looking forward to getting out on the road again and hopefully lose a few pounds in the process. This thread is really inspiring, keep those pedals turning!!
I started riding at 480 pounds and wore bicycle spandex. I'm sure I didn't make any friends that had to look at me
