  1. I saw an interesting-looking book the other night but
    was either too hurried or too cheap to buy it, but now I
    wish I had.

    I don't recall the title exactly, but the book is a memoir
    of a guy who was grossly overweight and just decided one day
    he would start biking, building toward some competition or
    event that was less than a year away.

    The front cover has a naked fat man riding a bike; the
    back cover shows the author in a biking outfit, looking
    very svelte.

    Anyone know the title/author of this book? I can't just go
    back to the bookstore and find it, because it was out of
    place when I looked at it.

    tmac, still enjoying her Roadie and looking for some
    inspiration

  2. His name is Michael M? The author went from 250 to somewhere
    a lot less according to the flap. I saw it in the bicycling
    section of Borg & Nobles.

    That's the one. I'll look for it again tomorrow.

    Thanks,

  4. Please let me know what you thought of it. I picked it up
    and put it down too. Then after buying a couple of other
    books I thought again about buying
    it. Unfortunately I can only read so many books at one time
    and keep them straight in my head..lol.

  5. Hi! Couldn't tell if someone had given you the name of the
    book. I think it's Heft on Wheels: A Field Guide to Doing a
    180, by Mike Magnuson. Hope this helps! melissa
