>>1585583>i like gadgets and shit>it scratches that itch in the brain if you know what i mean>pure consumerism maybe i’m not sureOh well that's no brainer then! There are a LOT of gadgets you can buy for your bike. There are bike computers galore, multiple kinds of derailleurs and cranks, all sorts of brakes and wheels and rims. There's even multiple kinds of little wheel generators to power all of your electronic goodies. Once you know what you're doing, you can build a bike exactly how you want it starting with just a frame. If buying and playing with gadgets is how you make your brain happy, there's no limit to what you can do with bicycles.
Go into the /bbg/ and post your local craigslist and your inseam, and mention what you're trying to do (get into shape and want a bike to help you start on that path) and they'll find you exactly what you need.
Just a word of encouragement and advice, though: resist the temptation to push yourself to your limits right at the start. Your knees aren't used to the activity right now. If you push too hard, you'll wear yourself out and you won't want to get back on the bike no matter how much you know you need to. I'm speaking from experience here as a fellow fatass Starting out, keep it light so your body gets used to the new range of motion...but do it every single day Eventually you'll be used to biking, and you can start to push your endurance. Keep your eyes on the prize anon, we're all going to make it.
