Yes, silly, a fat lady can ride. And sing at the same time if she feels like it.

Look, I'm heavier than you are (not gonna say by how much ) and last year I went on a week-long solo bike trip across the midwest. I ride daily. Others on this forum (not all by any means) are heavy too, and do whatever they %*$*#!! want to on a bike. We just tend to do it more slowly.

AND THAT'S OK.

So welcome to the club. You'll find all the moral support you'll ever need right here.

(Did you introduce yourself on the Getting To Know You Thread yet? I haven't gotten there yet.)
