I am rather new to cycling in the fact that I haven't been on a bike in 40 years until I started back for the first time since I was a kid! I bought my new bike a couple of months back for excercise. It is a RedLine Monocog 29er, Single Speed with disc brakes. Gearing is 32/16 with Schwalbe Big Apple ballon tires. Standover is 32" on a 21" 4130 Cromoly steel frame.

I started off riding around the block where I live and have moved up steadily six days at a time until I ride daily for 8 miles a day! My goal is to do 10 miles a day on a regular basis. I am 62 years old started out at 280 lbs. am currently at 258 lbs. workings for my target of 240lbs.

Cool bike! You can do it! Sounds like you have a great start and the more you ride the weight will continue to come off. Diet is important to though so dont have too many beers or twinkies Keep us posted with your process.
