The awesomeness of cycling. - My weight-loss in a nutshell.

Thank you to @subaqua , @Mapplebeck and @BigWill23 .

Well, having taken this beauty for a test ride on Saturday, I don't intend on slipping back to old habits.


So, holiday, decide on a few things, and then maybe have that to return home to

Just a little update, I went to my local cycling campaign meeting last week (13th Jan) and talking to a few people about my weightloss story, I was encouraged to contact our local paper, due to various car vs bike debates happening.

I contacted the reporter on the 14th Jan, and was given a call either on the 14th or the 15th (I forget which), where I told the reporter what had happened and where I currently am in my weightloss.
On Jan 22nd, my story was printed and published on the internet.

Fantastic! That's a lovely lovely bike too! I bet you were astonished at how much easier cycling is on that compared to an MTB!

Chapeau to you sir!

Thank you @david k and @Andrew_Culture .

The Croix de Fer is a fantastic and nippy bike, considering it's a little heavier than my MTB. The minimal rolling resistance is phenominal, gearing and handling is great.
Using it on my turbo at the minute to prep for the Plymouth Gran Fondo in May, so need to get used to the brakes (braking while riding the hoods).
