Hello from the middle of lake Michigan
Hi,
I am an engineer on a tug boat that has found himself in his 50's and way way over weight. I actually live in Tennessee and want to get into riding to get myself back into shape. At this time I do not have a bike, but will be getting one on my next vacation.
So hello to everyone and I will soon begin to bug you all by asking questions, as the last time I rode a bike it had a banana seat and I was, shall we say, much younger.

quite a few of us have used cycling as part of our exercise and diet program to loose weight, I lost over 80 lbs with the assistance of my bikes.
