Hi there. Never heard the term Clyde before either, except for Clyde the Glide Drexler. Just joined BF. I'm 6'1" and l've weighed 215-220 the last few years. I'm in my mid-30's and my metabolism took a nosedive on my 29th birthday. Before that I weighed 175-185 no matter what I did, ate, or drank. I've been cycling for the last few years. My longest rides are usually my commutes, 18 hilly mile each way. I don't do it every day, but feel great when I do. I have a heck of a time trying to shed the pounds. I'm trying some lo-card, no-bread, no pasta diet right now. I do feel better, but it hasn't amounted to much yet. The winter is thawing so I'm going to start my commuting again next week. Wish me luck!
