During the pandemic my son started learning to ride a bike. Which sparked my interest in riding. Since then I’ve dropped 50lbs and I feel mentally and physically better than I have in years at the age of 42. Pictures are a progression from 2019 till now.

4 years and 4 bikes later 😂
Way to go! I’m proud of you.
That’s a great story man. Biking in general has saved my ass twice now. It got me out of an abusive household as an overweight kid, made me drop all of my excess weight, improved my mental state, went to see some cool places and I made some pretty cool friends along the way. Some of my best memories as a teenager was on my BMX bike.
And during the pandemic after a 10 year hiatus from bikes I got into mountain biking. Again, I am losing the excess weight I accumulated over the years, it has vastly improved my mental state, I’ve met some acquaintances and I get to spend some much needed time alone in nature.
Biking for me is therapeutic, and I am so grateful to have it in my life again.
