[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 460178, member: 92241"] Managing my diabetes is one thing that keeps me cycling, but I have another more embarrassing reason too. Like I mentioned before, I am 26. I am currently 12 stone, and as I am 5'11" I am in a healthy weight range. My father (non diabetic) is in his mid 60s, and decided to invest in a bike when I mentioned I was getting one. He weighed more than a stone more than me and was not big on exercise. We live on opposite sides of the country, so I did not see first hand the cycling he was doing. He came down to visit, and we went out biking together. I thought I would be waiting for him all the time, as I expected him to be unfit. What I was greeted with was a very fit cyclist who now weighed 11 stone and had to slow down to wait for me plenty of times. So my biking is partly to be healthy, but also to make sure I can keep up with my dad! [/QUOTE]
