I lost “my bike” with my Garmin Vivofit! (I lost 31lbs in 8-weeks) Alright…so the hook is in the title and I’ll preface with this: I’m a very satisfied Garmin Vivofit user and I still own my beloved Trek Stache mountain bike. Anyone who’s ridden Midwest singletrack knows that shaving a bit of weight off your mountain bike is pretty noticeable in the woods because all we do is pedal the entire ride. No ski lifts…no long uphill with a downhill reward to enjoy. Just pedal, pedal, pedal the whole ride…so we try to build the strongest bike possible with the lightest parts we can afford. My own completely custom bike is on the burlier side of hardtails so it weighs 31 pounds, but I’m a bigger rider and don’t shy away from jumping or little cliff-drops on our local singletrack so a heavier, strong bike is a necessity. I often wondered what it would be like to ride a sub-20 pound rocket again…but I know it would implode beneath me on our rough terrain. · Spoiler:
