Well my bike is stuck in the hardest gear, its a weird korean bike that has eight gears on each side and if i try to change them the chain falls off!!!

Your bike sounds amazing. I'd appreciate pictures of such an odd sounding thing!

Get yourself a proper bike (racer) and find yourself some hills. That'll burn fat best.

Currently I burn roughly 1200 cal (I think, on last estimate) on a 30-40 mile ride (about 2 1/2 hours, slow, I know!)

TheOtherHalf

I sometimes wonder which is best as you can cycle 30 miles and part of that is freewheeling downhills whereas you still have to walk whether it be up or downhill. I remember a bike I once had where you had to pedal backwards to brake and whoa betide if you did it too quickly.

for the FAO ab editor .Sorry to hi jack your thread nannon but Ed is there any way you can get in contact with XSTITCHER who started this off last June under Onwards and Downwards last June and I replied to her thread and that is how this all started but because we were moved we seem to have lost her. I know she is trying to find us I got back to her on a thread last week but because some idiot must have said something rude by the time I got back to tell her where to go the thread had been removed. She is in Spain at the moment I think. Woulds appreciate if you can contact her and tell her . Thanks.

Chuck, it does look like a nice idea - not sure if it does it for me though.

Will see what I can do Wendilla.
