Greetings to all!! I found this nifty group quite by mistake, I was looking for cycling cloths that would fit me, and I came across several links to Bike Forums.

I am fairly new to cycling and have found that I truly enjoy it. I started because I wanted to lose weight,but I found that I really enjoy finding new places in my area to explore and discover that can only be reached by bike. Madison has many trails and each leads to a new experience.

Glad to be apart of this unique forum!!

Hey Brad, welcome to the Forums!

Cycling is a great way to lose weight and get in shape.

I was up to about 265 - 270 ! Yikes. I was into cycling, but took a hiatus due to a busy work schedule. When I could no longer fit into my 40 in pants, I decided to get back on the bike.

I'm down to about 220 lbs and looking to make it to sub 200! There are a ton of other cyclist here who've lost a lot of weight as well. Sharing in your successes can be inspiring to keep going!

Good Luck & L8R

Thanks L8R,
I found that the more I ride the better I feel and the better I get. I laughed when I saw that you were up to 270. I just got down to 270!! And I too am on my way to a much lower weight.

The other thing I noticed this summer is that I've got more miles on my bike now than I do my car. Have to love that.

Ride on and have fun
