A bit
No
Sort of.

I mate asked if I wanted to do a 75mile ride on Sunday. I had a think and with the exception of one ride of about 40miles last summer I haven’t ridden a distance greater than 5 miles in over a year.

A bit.
Not really, but I have three of them and I talk about it a lot.
Yes.

I’m also quite near Oxford, but I don’t kiss on the first date.

Not overweight
Ride off road to work and back all year round.
Don’t work in IT

No
Ride a SS road bike to work every day, and mtb at weekends (used to do loads a uni)
Sort of, but hopefully moving back into proper engineering soon.

No, yes, yes.

I’m overweight
I ride loads (but that’s what you asked in the post title)
I worked in IT for 33 years (plus the bit I was doing at the shoppe when we met).

The second question was a trick question.

I think you’re cuddly, not overweight.

1)right weight just needs shifted about a bit
2)haven’t commuted in 2 years but that’s going to change (stop using 17 miles each way as an excuse
3)no but spend too much of my working life staring at a screen

– Technically
– Yes
– No

No Yes No

Are you overweight? Yes,
Do you actually ride your bike much? Yes, although suppose that depends what loads is. commutes atleast 6miles a day and try to get out for 30/40 milers at the weekend. I balance it out with a shedload of chocolate and fizzy juice to compensate for any weight loss! 😀
Do you work in IT? Kinda, graphics not quite IT but not far..

Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe not.

When I can.
Yes.

Oh, and I have not one – but two – Orange bikes.

No, but could do with loosing another 1/2stone.
Yes if 100-150 miles a week counts.
Sort of, marketing analyst.

no

No, yes, yes.

It seems there’s a new breed of not so overweight, bike riding IT consultants.

noyesno

Should have added that I am spectacular at falling off, currently have a very bent front wheel on my mtb that has been that way since the first weekend in Feb when I stacked it. And I’m also a girl at the really technical stuff too. Put me a bike with nice flowing riding though and I’ll happily go round all day long.

I do commute about 60 miles a week but as this is an MTB forum I discounted time spent on a bike with skinnyish wheels and drop bars.

Haven’t been on my bike for 2 weeks now as being in IT I’m actually sat in a non-glamourous location in a hotel room and damn to I miss it. Trying to work out if there will be space in the car for my bike as well as all of my mates stock I will be travelling to bespoked with this weekend, seems silly to be going to it without the a bike at least.
