I bought a bike Monday evening. Jumping right into the deep end, I started cycle commuting to work and home Tuesday morning (about 7 km each way). I was successful Tues, Wed, and Thurs, but opted out yesterday because of rain.

Today I cycled to a roller skate-a-thon, skated for 2 hours and then cycled home.

Seriously? WHO AM I NOW???

A healthier, happier, and more fearless super goddess - that's who!!! I can't believe how amazing I feel since this little tool has helped me change my life! I'm still about 50lbs from goal but hoping to reach it by my 1 year surgerversary in August.

YAY!!!

This is my bike. I named her Matilda and we've started a blog :)

What a great thing!! I'd love to bike commute to work, but its about 10 miles and I'd be a sweaty mess if I did. Plus, I can't exactly pick up my kids and carpool with my bike. You rock....what a great life change.

I am so proud of you!!!! You are doing a wonderful job and to do all that is awesome. I LOVE THE BIKE! Keep it up girl, I have hip problems so that is out for me so I envy you to do all of these things. Never take it for granted doing this. It is a gift you worked at obtaining! Jane

What kind of bike is that? I am looking at new bikes since my bike was stolen out of my backyard and I like the way yours looks. Maybe if I get a new bike I will actually ride it more ;)

Congratulations on your new active life.
