I'm in my late twenties. See biking, for me, is something i do to relax. It is like a meditative/stress relief workout. When i said i lift i didn't mean i wanted to be a body builder. I just workout with weights. And you are entirely correct, being vigilant with your lifestyle (eating lifestyle) Is how i kept it off at the 250 range.I was living with a friend and she made all of the food, which was mainly healthy stuff. After i moved back home the healthy eating had stopped.

But to get back on point, i ride for the pure enjoyment of it... i get a high off of it i suppose. So are there more chill road bikes that aren't for racing? Like a casual road bike ha ha. I'm honestly just looking for a decent road bike to ride 6-10miles a day and on the days where i feel like i have energy ill go for 15-20miles. The awol costs way to much and the secteur i'd have to save more money.

But to make a long question short: If i bought the allez and rode it for 2 hours a day id be fine?
