That's an amazing looking bike, especially the gearing, but I guess it's needed to turn those huge wheels! I can imagine it's a lot of fun, but I wouldn't want to cycle across France on it!
Controlling my diet is more effective than exercise for me when it comes to weight loss (except when I'm cycling 6-7 hours a day across France, burning zillions of additional calories). Losing weight helps to control gout, but losing it too quickly, in combination with an increase in my gout medication, has paradoxically triggered additional severe gout attacks... but that's short-term pain for long-term gain, I hope; keeping it down, along with maintaining fitness, of course has millions of other benefits, so it's worth the pain. > On 24 Mar 2018, at 22:45, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks! > > I had to muck around with my diet a lot up to a couple of years ago due to > gout and colitis issues.
