No impact, much kinder on the body than pretty much any other exercise (I hate swimming!)
I hate that I look so ridiculous on a bike because of my size though!

Always hope.
But this is not chic. Chic is:
"An unjustified and unethical imposition on a healthy activity."

From /r/bicycling It is a photo apparently of Elsa Von Blumen a champion female cyclist of the 1890s.

Soon you'll be like one of those TdF riders and be happy to wear a skinsuit and aero helmet. Well maybe not the last two bits, but you'll get there. Ride lots and the weight disappears quicker than you think.phineas wrote:Cycling is great for overweight people (me!)

And dear Elsa seems to have the longest legs of any female cyclist I've seen for a long time, judging by the pedal reach

No fashion icon to be sure, but certainly some style and class. Besides look of the fit of that helmet, low at the front, straps well adjusted; much better than the other bloke.

I disagree. The thread is about chic. This is all about keeping suitably fashionable while riding a bicycle. Lycra team kit is fine but I don't count it as fashion - most people would not. It's great to see larger people riding bikes, every pedal revolution is one step on the road to improved health.
For a bit of encouragement here is one 'fat man on a bicycle' who has managed to stay more fashionable and has shown a big weight improvement in 5 months.

And as said, he is at least doing it properly, so it is safe and efficient.
