This is what cycling has done to me!

September 2015 18 stone and just split up with my partner and having to move back in with my parents leaving my two you boys.

Depression had started to kick in so I made the decision to do something about it with the help of a second hand bike.

August 2017 and now just under 14 stone happier and healthier than I have ever been but still missing not seeing as much of my boys as I would like.

It is amazing what cycling can do and every time I get out on the bike all my worries seem to just disappear

Fantastic story!

I'm sure we'd all like to see the bike as well

 

[videoman]

Great achievement and pleased your enjoying riding your bike so much. Hopefully thing will get better regarding seeing your boys though which must be very tough.

 

[ianrauk]

Awesome.

Nice way to loose the lard and yes , totally agree , riding the bike bombs out the negatives and puts the mind back on the positive track !
Well done Mate !

Well done to you for making such a big effort.

Another well done from me, I have done and been through similar, excercise is brilliant for the mind as well as body. I may see you on the road sometime.

Nice one, we'll done.

Cycling may have helped but have no doubt.... You did it for you.

Nicely done Steve, as you say cycling's not only about the physical benefits but the mental benefits as well. You'll soon be chasing your boys up the hills I'm sure!

Well done, in fact a big WELL DONE. Along with that I was just sitting here feeling lazy after a hard swim this morning and you have just given me the incentive to go and have a blast for an hour, thanks sometimes a nudge is all I need.

Well done Steve. I take my hat off to you buddy.
I turned to cycling after a relationship breakdown and I can frankly say it's turned my life around for the better. Just keep it going buddy and all the very best for the future :-)
