Any Bicycle Riders Out There?

why do you ride? exercise, save gas or some other reason? well i'm buying 1 this afternoon for exercise and something to do besides sitting in front of the tube all day long. i'm 52 years old, fat and out of shape and i think a bike is the way to go.

I ride a ZX14 but yea, being out on any kind of bike is cool. Awesome sense of freedom.....have fun !

Do it, and spend good money if you can. Cheap Walmart bikes are not worth it.
I started riding my bike religiously to work and it changed my life. I went from being 260lbs down to 195 over the course of 2 years.

i already have a motorcycle. i was talking about a bicycle. this is the what i was looking at.

i was wanting to start with something simple, coaster brakes without all the gears. right now i hit the scales at 215. 6 years ago i weighed 285 and i lost a hundred pounds over the corse of 3 years and i've slowly been putting it back on.

i too need to get my bike out of the shed , im getting podgy around my tummy i guess i should dust off this

and yes that seat feckin uncomfortable

get on the fricken sidewalk people!!!!!! stay off the road, its for vehicles!

Or grab and MP3 player and go for a walk. That is what I do. Smoke a jay and go for a nice walk once a day or twice a day really relaxing

I lost about 70 pounds just last summer and I put back on about10 over the winter.

Buy a comfortable seat if you are going to do alot of riding.....I'm 42 and 250 now I am just under 6' but I can't sit on the stock seat for any longer than about 3 seconds before it starts to hurt not to mention its just wrong.....Even with the grandfather seat as my boys call it I am still sore after a 3 hour tour.

another reason why i wanted to start out with a cheaper bike. i'd rather have a cheap bike collecting dust over an expensive one.

i am into dirt jumping but i still love cruising, espiacially when your bike does the cruisin' for you.

P.S. where is the blue smiley with the huge joint?

it hasnt sat in dust all of its life few years ago i used it everyday to work 5 mile then 5 mile back but i got lazy

i do a lot of walking. every day i smoke a good one then go socializing at the parks or the farmers market for an hour or 2. strolling along stoned is plenty of fun but i need something to bring the heart rate up a little.

skateboarding is a workout all in its own fo real.... in a couple of months of skatin back when i was 200 lbs i lost 30 lbs, i'd prolly ride again if i had another board, not as hardcore jus a few ledges and flips, and the ride..

i need a bike though, a koo lookin ol skoo schwinn would be the lick, or jus a koo bike from a shop, not go all out, but a nice light bike for sure, wouldnt even know wut brand is good.... i hadnt really petal'd a few blocks in years... maybe its about taht time to get one

you are a real pony !!!

i had several bike as a kid and the mest one was a schwin do they make them anymore? had a 10 speed shwynn that was popular at the time...........rode that fucker everywhere till I got big enough to handle a harley........got my first harley at around 14 ......never turned back LOL..........

I ride an old Schwinn Collegiate. Looks like this
