As stated above, I was driven to do something because of my mother. As the Geek-a-Cycle development progressed I started
using the various incarnations of the Geek-a-Cycle while I worked at my PC. In the course of three months, I can proudly state that I have lost 24 pounds (as of January, 17, 2005).
I started at 210 pounds (I am 6' 1" tall). This, according to the charts is boarder-line overweight. I am now down to 186
pounds and I expect to drop even more. I have a target of 175 pounds.
As a result of loosing this 24 pounds I find that I have more energy. I am not lugging around a 24-pound back pack that was
with me night and day.
Also, I hurt my knee a couple of years ago (an old guy playing like as if he was a young guy) and it has been bothering me
quite a bit. Now after use of the Geek-a-Cycle my knee does not bother me at all. I cannot say if this is due to the non-impact nature of the Geek-a-Cycle or if my knees appreciate not having to bear as much
weight. Either way, my knee does not hurt any more.
