Alright here is a little story i thought some of you might enjoy.
I am fat not afraid to say it 6'1"+ 300 lbs = fat. So this spring my wife and i started walking and working out 4 to 5 times a week. When the weather is not so nice i am a member of a local car club, http://www.timeturners.org/, and we have a small gym in our building. Last night the weather wasnt so good so the the wife and i went to the "gym". When we got there i start on the treadmill while she rode the excercise bike. after 15 minutes we switched. So i am riding along on the stationary excercise bike when i decide to go for the "Stationary Excercise Bike Land Speed Record." I gradually pick up speed little by little until i decide i am rolling along fast enough to start my push for the record. so i really dig in. Now i am pedaling like a mad man the wind from the big fan wheel was intense the walls were standing still and my wife was laughing at me (nothing new) so i new i was creeping up on the record when disater struck. the chain broke right as i was begining a full stoke. it wrapped around the the fan and sprocket and stopped insantly sending me and the bike in a flash to the concrete floor. while laying on the floor in the fetal postion trying to decide how i had lived though such an ordeal. i realized 6'1" + 300lbs= not built for speed or endurance. But my butt sure fits my hawks bucket seat well.
So does anyone work on excercise bike in this form???????
