I am just curious what your experiences have been.
Before I started, I was worried a little bit about reactions from a couple of people at work, but I have been pleasantly surprised when they talk one-on-one and tell me they wish they could do the same thing I am doing. I got a couple of jokes about being Lance, about my helmet and reference to some movie I never saw, but I think those are just small-talk by people who don't know what else to say and are trying to lighten up the office. Sometimes it feels like a Halloween costume every day when I walk in wearing my Bike Guy gear, but it hasn't been too bad overall. In my case, the weight loss has made it all sweeter anyways. I don't plan to go back.
