Number of consecutive years of cycling:

12 or 13 - I started with a mountain bike when my DS was in college. I would ride with him and his friends. Finally got tired of leaving body parts on trees and rocks and switched to a road bike.

My age:

54

What keeps me on the bike:

I absolutely love it! I have always been active but never excelled at anything. Cycling is something I can do all day every day and never get tired of it. I might be slow, but I can usually keep pushing the pedals.

How much weight have I lost?

It depends - if I work out really hard I can lose 10 - 15 lb. but somehow manage to put it back on every time there is a health crisis that keeps me off the bike for a bit. Very, very frustrating! However, I am fit and feel good about that - just wish the clothes were a little more loose.
