Already posted a picture of my girl, she's not fat at all.

For you who doubt me

Love is blind, I have a really good personality and I've never really had problems getting girls (whether I was 250 or 350, and I've been bigger than 350)

Trust me, I've had days where I wonder why she loves me, but I can't seem to get rid of her.

She looks nice, congrats! :shocked:

And again best of luck!

<-------- 250 lbs, 6'0", trying to get to ~230-235 by the end of summer so I can go skydiving.
 
When qw got new bikes a few years ago one thing i made sure is i got the nicer seats. My wife needs a new one though. she does not like the one it came with. just have to find a nice one for her.

Try something women's specific, definitely shaped differently for female anatomy. I ended up picking up this saddle for my wife and she likes it a lot.

Oh, and probikekit is a great place in general for bike stuff, OP. Free shipping and with the dollar strong against the pound right now, you can pick up stuff for pretty cheap.

It is not the ladies that you are having problem with.

The problem is that you are obese. It would be wise to get help.

I had a really nice coworker that weight well over 440-450 lbs and I tried to convince him to get help while we were working on the same team. Over a year ago he got help and have a personal trainer after diagnose with diabetes. He now down to 230 lbs at 6'0", and he would like to be below 200 lbs at the end of this summer.

Good job on getting on the bike and exercising. Your ass will get used to being pounded after a while. Maybe a few weeks of serious riding. If you can't tolerate it you can look for a softer saddle or some gel. Also say goodbye to your balls.

Give it time. Take a couple days off to recover and try again. Eventually your ass will get used to it.

I'd also wear some padded shorts, those will help.

Wrong. That should not happen. I've had saddles that cause my nether regions to get numb, if that happens it's time to check the fit of your bike and/or think of getting a different saddle.

Your junk should definitely NOT get numb from riding.

Edit-Your ass shouldn't get numb either. It will get used to sitting on a bike seat though, perhaps that's what you meant. 😉

He can lose the weight, but you will always be a piece of shit.

So my girlfriend and I decided to try to get healthy. We've been way too super lazy lately, eating bad, not exercising, etc.

We started eating very natural, unprepared foods, cutting out all the junk crap we used to eat.

Then she decides she wants to start biking. I think its a great idea. I'm a big boy though (5'10, 350) so riding a bike didn't seem like a great option.

But I did something I never do, I just went to a bike shop, told them to set me up and they did. I got a nice mountain bike with good hardware that can support my weight.

I take it out last night (after not riding for 16 years) and holy crap its fun, but my ASS hurts like crazy. I think my butt/leg muscles are in complete shock and are punishing me accordingly. It's got a pretty small seat, which I put a gel cover on, but I think I'm going to have to get a bigger seat to support my fat ass.

How long does it normally take for your ass to get used to riding on a bike again? I feel like I just got outta county jail with Bubba as a cell mate.

couple weeks.

i noticed i adapted a lot quicker to my road bike's seat than my mountain bike's. in fact, even though the mountain bike has a wonderful gel cushion for your butt to rest on, it still hurts after riding, wheras the road bike with its barely cushioned plate is even good for long riding.

dunno why. maybe you just have to shop around to find the seat that fits your ass.
 
LOL!!! This is awesome, and true.
