I was wondering if anyone has lost weight using bicycling has their main source of exercise? I'm thinking about picking up my bike from my boyfriends parents house this weekend and using it as my main exercise, since I can't go for walks without my back killing me after 5-10 minutes (almost 300lbs and 42H bra size will do that I suppose ) I'm hoping biking will be less strain on my back and I used to bike alot, I hate doing exercise videos, so this was all I could think of, I don't really have money to buy any indoor exercise equipment either.
Also I have a Jack Russell pup who is about 8 months old now and FULL of energy and I'm wondering if it will be safe to bike with her and how to do that? I've seen people bike with their dogs but usually big dogs.. I'm a little scared about her going under the tire or running away from me and pulling me off the bike, she goes nuts when she sees other people but I can avoid other people for the most part. I'd just really like to get her some exercise as well.
Also, I saw a few people talking about this a while back, and it was something you could use inside and hook your bike up to it somehow to bike inside, so that your bike is like an upright exercise bike but inside... don't know how else to explain it lol I was wondering what this is called, and where to buy it, and how much they usually run for so that when snow comes I can continue to use my bike inside.
Thanks
