Hi guys, i recently feel like picking up cycling as a hobby.

Mainly, to lose weight.

Do you guys think fixie is a good idea for like 10-15km ride daily?

something like this would be nice for me...

biking can't really lose weight... or just me not doing it hard enough...

if you are not scared of traffic and the dangers fixies might pose to a newbie.. it's still a bike at the end of a day...

lost weight go Jog 5km+ a day much better result.
1K can get 3 pairs good shoe

no offense but true

running safer than cycling IMO

get a normal bicycle with brakes. get a 2nd hand unit at that price. Good luck with your purchase, mine has been HELL like since I am pretty anal about stuff....

true, but its really bad for the joints. Cycling beats running in the long run (hmmmm a pun)


ditto, unless there are zombies, attack dogs, hmmmmm too much TV.

true... especially when you line it up against a fixie...

FOr me, jogging for 1km = riding bike for atleast 30km haha

actually... that is a misconception...i used to think running is bad for a lot of things.. joints being one...

providing that the postures are right..foot strike and everything... running actually improves bone health as the impacts actually encourages your bones to build and create denser bone structures based on a scientific study...

and if you have a correct posture... forces sent down your foot will actually be distributed correctly and dissipated as it travels up your body... running with bad shoes, etc actually puts forces onto your joints and prematurely wears them down...

talking of joint wear... cycling is actually worst on the knees than running as i heard in the long run...

best sport for me is actually swimming... you get to work every muscle and you exercise in a weightless environment which induces no stress onto any part of the body...

unfortunately... i sink like a rock...so... swimming is not my game.. neither is running for that matter...most prolly gonna trip over my own feet...

Ok, I agree with your comment. I shall run.....not likely unless a bunch of 'cannot be named' things/animals/beings are chasing me.

yeah, same goes for cycling. If the bike is improperly fitted it would wreck hell on your body.

I love to swim but my ex convinced me not to because its bad something something with something something elements. same went with my well meaning friends/relatives.

Alloy, carbon or titanium.......

what something something? ppl pee in the pool?

Well, from my low stamina mah.. I only can jog 1km non stop thereafter losing breath liao but I can cycled long distance atleast 30km b4 feeling tire.. so that how I compare lor

shark? piranha? crocodile?

for me swimming did help lose weight, maybe i did push enough
20mins a day ... tummy still that big.

carbon... all the way... if you have the money..

or titanium if you want some comfort and you have money...

alloy is just for poor bastards who keeps on whining about how lousy their bikes is..

or worst.. crapped in it...

pee is at least sterile... crap is not...
