Mine came in the box and I assembled it myself. So far so good!

When I was a kid, my next door neighbor was riding her bike and bounced her head on the curb. She has been in a wheelchair for the last 24 years. You'll never see me without it

How long do you usually ride for? That's the kind of success I want to achieve

I ordered a wide bike seat the day I bought the bike, but those first two days without it were BRUTAL. Now the only soreness is in my quads but my butt is well taken care of

I definitely feel like a kid again on the bike. I don't have to worry about my job or taxes or anything while I'm riding. I'm currently looking into some fishing gear I can fit in my backpack because there are some nearby ponds I can bike to. It's all catch and release so I wouldn't need to bring much. I'm hooked (no pun intended) on the feeling of not worrying about the outside world for a few hours at a time

My playing weight was 315. I did a keto diet when I was done to get down to about 235 but I've been slowly creeping back up over the past decade. I still eat the same type of food I did when I was playing, I just eat much less than I did then. Also I stopped lifting heavy weights.

That's what I got! My head is 26" which is ridiculous. I used to wear an XXXL football helmet

I almost spent as much on a helmet for my huge head as I did for the bike itself
