Hello I want to post my new REI because I am proud of it.

I HATE the paint color but it's nice. Happy with it as a first bike even tho I dont think ill ever buy something this expensive in my life ever agane.

what thread do people brag about their bikes in on this board?

also, im 242 pounds, six foot one. very big boy. ive been walking and managed to get myself down from 266, but still. super fat. super out of shape.

my core is FUCKED so my lower back yells at me for using the default drop handlebars, my endurace is FUCKED so i can only ride for like 2-3 hours at a time at grandma speed, and my shoulder/back is FUCKED so that when i try to get on the floor and do core exercises from youtube i end up almost crying from pain like a girl.

im slowly losing the weight, 1 pound or 2 a week, but until then i feel like im just giga hampered. dont ever get fat, anons.

but until im not fat: how do i enjoy biking more? what should i do?
