I did not own a bike from my teens until I was about 30. As my career got moving and my family took up my time, I found I was not able to skateboard much. And if you don't skate much, when you do ride, you fall, hard and often. So I didn't do much of anything for a while and started getting fat.
One weekend I went over to Daytona to stay at a friends crashpad. They suggested a bike ride and loaned me a piece of sh!t beach cruiser. Then they proceeded to flog my ass on 15 miles of backroads. I had a good time, somehow I had forgotten how fun bikes are.
A week later I bought a wally world bike. Rode it around a few weeks until some dude at santos told me I was going to kill myself when it broke in half. I went and bought my first good bike, a 2000 GT XCR 4000. Rode XC for a few years, then moved over to DJing and recently, trials.
I'm not so fat anymore.
