I was 96kg when I first made an account here a little over three months ago, but due to various reasons, never got around to post
I am now 89kg, so technically below the mark, but still very much borderline (I am also pretty short at 167cm, so this is still pretty fat)
I've been cycling every other day since then and got to the point where I do at least 10km in one go, which is admittedly not a long distance, but as someone who has been working from home and being very much sedentary since 2017, it feels like an achievement (I could barely do 2km without panting like a dog or something)

However, my problem is that no matter what, I can't seem to be able to go fast enough
I ride a cheap single speed bike, so that would probably limit what I can do, but I still see posts around (not just here) by people who claim to do 20 miles/h on average on single speed bikes, whereas my average tends to be around 16 km/h (which is roughly 10 miles/h) even when there's very little traffic
Hoping to get faster with time though
