I think cycling is a terrific activity--I spent much of my childhood on a bike and it feels very natural to me.

That's exactly how I started, about 25 lbs ago! Just some very non-ambitious toodles around the neighbourhood. But it's addictive - especially when you get a little stamina and drop some of the weight holding you back!

That's why I like it, too. It feels natural and fun - NOT like exercise. I spent a lot of time biking as a kid, too. Maybe that's why I'm not as nervous or fearful jumping back on this saddle. My DH keeps tryign to get me riding horses, however, and that is not NATURAL to me. Plus I always end up on my arse with my trusty steed two hundred feet ahead. I'll take the bike, thanks.
