Congrats on the weight loss!!! As a still heavy rider, I have lost 109 pounds myself, and still more to go. I cannot ride steep hills, nor in heavy traffic or in a group. I have tried. But, I also had a bad accident 7 years ago and just being on my bike is a victory. I have a 29er that easily supported my formerly 350 plus at the time, but at 269, it still feels light and easy to pedal. As I lose more weight I do want to ride my road bikes more and more. And I hope my confidence improves, as well as my fear on hills. (I crashed breaking my back and doing a lot of damage going down a hill on a roadbike... ) I keep at it, I just might beat that fear...
