for buying some great used gear. MTBR is one of the oldest running mountain
bike websites and definitely one of the best for getting answers to any
questions you have.
How it Started For the past fifteen or so years, biking —
whether on the road or on dirt — has has been essentially my one and only
hobby/activity/obsession. The thing is, though, cyclists need to be light if
they’re going to be fast. So, a few years ago, when I went on a nice long bike
ride and noticed I was having to walk up hills I had easily ridden not many
years before, I realized something had to be done. And yes, I also noticed my
knees pushed into my gut with each pedal stroke. Shaddup. I had known I needed
to lose weight, but hadn’t really done much about it. As I pushed my bike up
the road, I realized I had not tried one very successful diet tactic:
humiliation. I resolved to start a blog, embarrassing myself by proclaiming my
weight on a daily basis, no matter how bad I was doing. I didn’t want to just
post my weight, though. So I also wrote stories. Sometimes these stories are
about rides. Sometimes they’re fake news (especially around Tour de France
time, when there’s usually lots of stuff in the bike industry that begs for
satire). Sometimes they’re about whatever bike-related thing has popped into my
head that morning (lunchtime, evening, whenever). And lately the blog’s been
about a little bit more. - See more at: http://www.fatcyclist.com/about-fatty/#sthash.1JD4WhRT.dpuf
