History:

Started riding seriously when I bought my first real bike in 1990, it was a Miyata 414. I was 13 and saved my money for 1 1/2 to buy it. I put thousands of miles on that bike from 1990-1994, when I got my drivers liscense. I gave up biking pretty much completly till 2 years ago. I bought a Trek 7200 hybrid, which was too small, and I started riding a little. I commuted to work a little bit but nothing major.
In 2006 I started commuting more, then I was cutting up a tree and it a big piece rolled onto my leg and I tore my calf muscle. I didn't ride much after that.
2007 rolled around and I realized that now that I am 30 I should really do something about my weight. It was getting out of hand, when I saw that I was 280, I quit smoking and got on my bike. I now commute everyday and ride an extra 50-100 miles a week depending on how much time I have. I have lost 25 pounds since April, and have quit smoking.
