Fat and Unfit - How to Start Biking?

[sirenizzed]

Wow, methinks I have stumbled upon a wonderful support group. I too am significantly overweight and decided that biking would be the best way to get me active. Low impact on joints and i still break a sweat. I just purchased my bike a few weeks ago. I got a Bianchi Torino Dama, well look at the avatar. I quickly discovered my bike seat and I do not get along. We arent friends and im not even speaking to it anymore. I ordered a Brooks B67 today and once that comes in, stella ( not my real name) can get her groove back.

Congratulations! A few weeks ago I bought that same bike for my sister. I'll have to ask her how the seat is doing, it does look like it is overkill in the width department.
