Yep, it is cool. I've just gotten back on the bike in January after a lay off of over 18 months (wedding, job change, move half way around the globe, sail boat the same distance to move it). While my weight hasn't started to decrease yet, my general fitness level and feeling of well being is incredible by comparison. The legs are starting to look good again, I have more energy, each week I feel better than the one before. Now, if I could just drop that 25 lbs or so. Time to start limiting the chocolate in the house and start buying more carrots.
