Tooting my own horn...
Since the first week of March I have logged 2047 miles both commuting and riding in events to include a metric century. I lost 25 pounds, 1 pant size, raised just over $500 for charity and completed the metric in 4 hours and 5 minutes. My wife created a monster when she bought me that bike.

Bells don't work round here so Hope the horn is a loud one.
And What Bike? First metric in 4 hours is good---Forget the 5 minutes due to Traffic and the computer being wrong. 25lbs weight loss is even better.
So what does the wife think of what she created?

The wife thinks it's great. I don't think that she expected me to take to it as I have.

You must be mistaken about the lost weight. We have been told repeatedly that it is impossible to lose weight by riding more.

Kudos, for sure.
The weight loss is a pretty cool side effect, no? I've lost about 30-35 pounds and I didn't really even set out to lose weight. None of my pants fit any more.

Good for you, but I wonder.
Are you trying to make me look bad?

I think those things where you are are called mountains. Rocky Hills just doesn't quite have the same ring.
