Maybe I should add to my post that I'm 5'1", and 55. But I did 22 miles on the towpath yesterday for my third ride. I just keep wondering, though, how I could have so much padding on my butt and still feel the bones through it today...
Well, I tried that, and it didn't work. I don't have an oh-my-goodness-wonderful bike, but when I got it 5 years ago (when I was 55) I thought it was great, by far the best bike I'd ever had. It did get me exercising, and kept me exercising as my knees got worse, but I didn't lose weight on biking alone. Some do, I'm sure, but they must ride a lot more than I do. I'm working on increasing my mileage, but biking isn't my only interest, and I live where there are winters.
