Hadn’t ridden a bike in twenty years, but I was looking for a fun way to get some exercise last year and ended up buying an entry level mountain bike hybrid thing. I started riding this spring for the first time, and it hurt like hell at first, and I almost gave up a couple of times. Started just riding a couple miles around the neighborhood. Each time I go I go farther and faster. Now I’m taking hour long rides, on and off road, for several miles and it feels great! I haven’t worked out like this in so long I needed it.
I would post a picture but you all would probably make fun of it because it’s not some fancy cool road bike fixie. But I love it.
- Three months in and I’ve lost weight, my sciatic pain is 100% GONE, I’m happier, I sleep better, and I see muscles in my legs I forgot existed.monospaced
- "fancy cool road bike fixie" XD

- "Haven't ridden a bike in 20 years" is one of the most American things I've heard on this site.
*Takes cover from gunfire.palimpsest - I suppose that’s true perhaps if you have a narrow view of the world and maybe ignorant about life and what it can throw at you, especially in America.monospaced
- Haha. Not all of America is car obsessed fatties, just most of us. Crazy how I’m bike friendly we can be even in this day and age.monospaced
- * un bike friendlymonospaced
- Thanks for the explanation.
I'll go to bed a wiser man tonight.palimpsest - Sure. Says the guy who only came to talk shit. Real high ground stuff there. Sleep tight.monospaced
