I dropped 4 lbs since yesterday according to my scale
I wonder if I ride this much everyday how long it will take me to drop another 25lbs.
Im guessing this won't happen daily. But it sure feels good tO know I'm heading in the right direction.

Ignore him.... ;D What do you ride actually? You must have laid some money down because you can't do that on cheap shit.

If it's a road bike it's quite do able. Still good though. If you sat on a gym bike or turbo trainer I say meh

Orange five AM here :)

I'm not looking for any credit there are not a lot of hills in my town. But my goal was to get out of the house out of the office and crush this bodyfat in the next 90 days. Taking the next 3 months off to get ripped. The bike is decent quality I'm told. It feels great and is smoothe as hell

They are good bikes for the money

That's what I was told. I don't know what my brother paid for this bike but he says I can have it for half price. He never even rode it

Nothing wrong with Jamis bro. I used to ride an Iron Horse mountain bike all the time, even for long rides. I know that is a bmx brand, but this was Easton, and full XT, Judy SL, SDG kevlar seat, etc. Pretty light too. Changed tires out to reduce rolling resistance for longer stuff. Wish I still had it really. It's an expensive hobby. I usually stuck around 30-40 miles for rides, but I used it for transportation which added a lot of mileage. Think I might get a bike again myself.

I rode a lot as a youngster so it's very easy for me now
I'm gonna try to bang off 100miles a day Until I reach 10% bf
Lofty goal but realistic I think

I hadn't thought about Jamis for awhile, so I went to their site. Check out this sucker, I'd love this thing. $5000 for a hardtail!!!

Yeah, I wouldn't lock that thing up anywhere for long. I'm sure someone would find a way to steal it, show his boys, and all be like "that's not a Mongoose holmes, you fucked up"
-
Here is the one you should get for your long runs. I'm sure financing the 10K wouldn't be a problem. ;D

Lol. I was riding a piece of shit mountain bike prior to this one and it was so uncomfortable after 20miles.
I squAred the tires off in about 3 weeks. I think this bike was 200 bucks 5 years and 1000miles ago

Oh I'm not bragging lol. And I know it's way better for my joints. When I was a much younger and lighter man I did a lot of running. These days I think cycling is my beat bet

you can do this without having to spend a fortune on a bike, like anything else there are those that say you gotta have this or that to be able to do it. I had a decent road bike i bought in 1988 that i put thousands of miles on over the years, paid around 300 back then still have it too. I rode everyday, to work, to the gym and for long rides every other day i would ride 25-30 miles in the morning lay in grass at park take a nap and tan then go home and eat. Then ride another 25-30 miles just before dinner, usually same route just start from opposite direction. i lived on top of a foothill so no matter which way i went i always had to work hard on the way back, 1,000 ft elevation gain in 2.5 miles.
I miss having that free time to bike like i did, one of the best exercises on the planet. Great way to keep trim stay with it ;)

Biking is great. About 15 years ago I rode across Iowa. 500 miles in 5 days. I had really expensive road bikes in the past. You need a good road bike to keep up with friends who have skinny high pressure tire road bikes. Now I ride an upright hybrid with fat tires. I ride by myself slow with my slow bike and let the racing bikes blow by me. I like riding in comfort instead of bend over. I get the same workout but I can't get any real speed on this bike.

I know what you mean, my bike had some pretty narrow tires and was a racing bike to boot, just not top of the line as some folks think they have to have.

Of course you don't need an insane bike . Those bikes I linked are the top of their line. It's like admiring a Ferrari, and there are more expensive than those. I'd say you can get by with about a $1000-1200 total investment if you are wanting to be fairly serious. You need a pump, spare tubes, tools. If you get serious you will want clipless pedals, and the shoes alone will be over $100.

yep, i agree.
