I am out of shape, but I’m losing weight daily. I went from a pound a week to 2 or 3 pounds a week and can finally call myself not fat, now. I don’t jiggle when I jump except for under my arms and I no longer have mini-moobs. Highly recommend bicycling to anyone, vagabond-ing it or no.
That said,

>>2824598 is correct. I am not a lycra warrior racing rich WASPS on Strava. I have a hardtail and a dream, but don’t need speed at all. I am heading vaguely west in search of employment but it’s not a now or never situation, my water filter and some ramen’s keeping me alive.
Also, ebikes are retarded and for lazy losers. Please do not try to larp-travel with a HEAVY, FLAMMABLE battery inside your bicycle because going uphill is hard. It’s gonna be hard no matter what but removing the challenge is just going to cheat yourself. Also ebikes are shit and break within months. Yes, even the expensive ones. No, you can’t just take the electric stuff off and ride normally. And no, you can’t unplug random ice machines or vending machines to charge unless your dumbass wants to get robbed by gas station zombies or worse, robbed by cops. Don’t be a fucking dumbass.

I hate non- /out/ larpers. Spend a few werkends first pedaling a normal bicycle and get used to that before committing. I didn’t do that, so the muscle soreness is beating my ass, but it’ll get better slowly over time. If you are dedicated and not actually a larper, it behooves you to practice and get comfortable with hauling weight over long periods of time while you have a home and place to recover.
