Fat Men Cycling Cycling is a great activity for Fat Men.  Maybe I (James Cozens) am biased as it is my chosen way of keeping fit - the picture below shows me getting ready for the 160k (100 mile) round Taupo ride in November 2005 (and completed again in 2006 and 2007).  I use an Avanti Road bike (San Remo Pro 2006 - 30 speed and great for fat old guys!) for the big rides and an Avanti Black Thunder Mountain bike for getting to and from work.  Avanti have supported me in charity fundraising and I get great help from Richard and his team at Avanti Plus Albany 260 Oteha Valley Road, North Shore ,AUCKLAND (Phone 09 442 5902) If you are a Fat Man and want some inspiration to get on a bike, then look no further than Eldon Ward who cycled all the way across the USA and lost pounds and pounds.  For details of my cycling progress and targets go to this page .  For further details of cycling events go to our Events page .
