It is definitely time to try to diet again. I'm not quite back to my top weight, but I can see it from here and I don't like it. That's the real reason I got the bike. There are some nice trails that start not far from my house and my neighborhood is pretty residential with only a few busy roads. I haven't wanted to try to ride my regular bike because of the killer hills coming home. Now I don't have an excuse. I'm a bit nervous about how much of a kick it gives when it kicks in, but I can always turn the motor off.
