Thread: Wot's yer ride?

Funkychicken,

The 2nd in charge rides one of those 4 wheel drive equivalents in a bike. I swapped a back tire for one just as wide but smooth as, and although there was a lot of complaining at first we are used to it now. The drop in friction on the road is remarkable.
Unless you are going on really rough stuff you could go for one of these tyres. Try it on the front first.

I love it in those bike magazines where they show the local riders and their bikes. Some of these guys weigh 65kg! How do you get that?

I've lost 15kg since riding but most of my friends are another 15kg under that.

I weigh about that. I think it's a hereditary thing, as well as not eating much fatty sugary stuff and working at a sawmill

I was 62.3 when I got off the scales today
I run most days when I can and swim ever 2nd day
Swmbo works in a gym
when im on the bike i sit around 30km
when i ride with swmbo its less

62.3Kg? Dont you think youre a bit overweight mate?

86kgs when I'm out here at work and manage to get down to 80kg while Im on time off and pushing the pedals everyday.

Don't you guys need to fatten up before Winter?

No one wants to snuggle up to a cold bag of bones.

CP

No one wants to snuggle up to me anyway so I'll be fine without extra padding

in oct last yr I was 58kg
then I started going the gym on boxingday i was 70kg
gym was closed for 2 weeks

I'm 6ft2in in old money and weigh 70klg, trained most days all my life, first cycling then swimming (surf club) which led me into running.
Continued running until I broke my left foot (stress fracture, I thought I knew better than the doctors) had to have my foot rebuilt with titanium staples and ferrule (for sinews) reduced to walking for a couple of years,had sold all five of my bikes and moved up from Sydney to Brisbane.
Getting a bit twitchy these days. Wife has asked me why I have been looking in all the bikeshop windows lately.Shhhh!
