The talk radio show I listen to in the car played a song repeatedly a few years ago about fat girls riding bicycles. Oh, I just looked up on YouTube. It’s actually called “Fat Girls On Bicycles.”
And it could be about me.
My daughter and I got new bikes last week!
I’m still hovering right around the 300 pound mark.
Fat girl on a bicycle indeed.
But I love it!
I’ve never biked regularly – not even when I was a kid. But I learned how when I was about 10 and I guess the old saying is true. I was a little shake at first, but am feeling pretty sold now.
I have a cruiser bike with an adorable basket and a hot pink helmet.
I admit to panicking a bit when I ride past teens, afraid they’ll make fun of me, but I don’t let my daughter see it.
Being an overweight kid brings it’s own form of PTSD.
I’m curious if you are still riding your bike? I started riding mine in June. Same scenario as you only difference is it took me several days to be able to ride again and I’m still pretty awkward lol. But I’m getting better and going further everyday. Hope you and your daughter are still riding and loving it!
Ya know, we haven’t ridden in forever unless on vacation (we love renting bikes). We were just saying we should start again!
