To get there and back makes it a good ride!

I am 232 lbs, 5' 11", age 62. Recently retired, I ride an on road 22 mile round trip 3 times a week as weather permits. I ride a 3 speed 26" X 1 3/8" tires with Ape hanger bars. I also ride a single speed converted from a mountain bike with raised handlebars. I was a long haul trucker for the last six years. I don't have a target weight in mind but will let nature take it's course. I also have an exercise machine for rainy days.

Have at it and keep it up.

You're the same height as me and a few years ago I was above 225lb. Now the weight varies around between mid 170s and 180s. There more left to come off for sure... but that's more dependant on weening myself off the beers.

Have fun riding the bike... but I'd at least stick a front brake on the single speed bikes, especially the blue one. The old 'face on asphalt' trick isn't the best way to stop - brake(s) are much more elegant and a less painful way to stop.
