You guys think I'll have a better bike riding experience being 205 pounds instead of 285 when I first got it?

Having experienced bike riding at both ends of an even bigger weight loss, hell yes! And although losing the payload is a big part of why, it isn't the only reason it's easier. I found it a lot less awkward to pedal and maneuver and the engine endurance is just hugely better.

Now, about that dog....
