Riding my bike

As a volunteer clown, participating in functions to help children, I often ride one of those silly little bikes where my knees are above the handle bars. As a chubby clown I had problems riding them. As a slim downed clown the small bikes are much easier although I prefer my carbon frame, Kestrel Road Bike now. Now that I am almost to my goal I plan to spend the next ten years riding my bike in events across the USA. The plan is to ride in five events each year which will give me whole USA after ten years. There are many bike rides sponsored annually by worthy charitable organizations. Riding my bike will allow me to help others while helping myself maintain my newfound slimness. I wanted to commit to this on the state forums as a reminder to myself that the surgery is only the first step; a life-style change is imperative if I want to maintain. I intend to do that on my bike. Kim

That is really great! Let us know if you come here and when. I plan on getting back into bike riding as soon as I get one and a trailer to haul around my son. One summer as a child I lost lots of weight just riding my bike to/from my cousins's house. I just had surgery in March, but I am hoping that bike riding will help me again. Best of luck in your journey! Sherry
