Excellent article, very motivating. This is the passage that stuck with me:
he saw a man ride a bike past their house. The average-looking middle-aged guy rode a touring bike with two panniers. He wove through traffic as if he were a fish swimming up a stream, slipping past boulders and rocks with grace and ease. "I remember," says Cutshall, "he had the biggest smile on his face."
Scott Cutshall was my inspiration, I had read his blogs " Large fella on a bike" and have even become friends with him on facebook.
He got me into Dr. Furhamann "Eat to live" book It works, as for as Bikes do like everyone has said look on craigslist for a used older steel lugged mountain bike they will have stronger /double walled rims/ I chose an old 1989 trek 950 to start with.
Good luck
