Yikes. How depressing that I fit into such a category! Well, I guess there is some truth in advertisement as much of my weight gain as come at the expense of hauling large quantities of beer around.
After lurking for a few days, I've finally decided to introduce myself: Hi, my name is oz25 and I'm a Clydesdale: 249 lbs./28.9 %bf. After reading through this entire thread (among others) and reading Heft on Wheels, I've become inspired to make a change.
I have one question. I basically mountain bike (2-3 times a week). Is road biking going to be a more efficient way to put in the miles/time and thus eat up the pounds? I'm trying to decide if purchasing a road bike would be a smart investment or to just stick with the mountain bike on the road.
