Those who know me know that I really love cycling. I've been riding for years and I'm fat. It is interesting loving and participating in a sport where the body ideal is so completely different from the body I have.

What’s a fat broad like me — 200 pounds of flab squatting over skinny tires — doing on the road? I’m cycling just like everyone else. And regardless of your size, you belong here too! If you like cycling, don’t let your mind cheat your body out of doing something fun and healthy.

Being overweight and being a cyclist is not contradictory. I’ve been both for 22 years. Too many women are psyched out by those lean bodies dancing on the pedals up the Gatineau Hills. Cycling does not require a skinny body, it helps if you want to go fast, but it’s not necessary to enjoy cycling.

Sheila Ascroft has been cycling for 20-some years and writing about it for the last 10. Her articles have been published in newspapers and magazines.

I think it's possible that your queue isn't disbursing your posts evenly. I'll get days of nothing, then suddenly 12 posts at once.

I haven't used queue with my posts. I just don't post that often. But this is a good idea, actually. I think I'll start adding my posts to queue. Thanks :)
