Im not in the best shape, and i want to challenge myself to be better.
I will ride 1km for every up vote I get.
That should help me set a short term goal that hopefully give me better long term ones.
Of course if the number gets too insane I might need to do it in multiple increments.
kfccoleslaw
Wait which bike is it?? I see two diff bikes
ohmymyohhellyes
2000 km this can be a life changing event. Take it very seriously and good luck OP keep us up on training , give us route choices to vote on

RajBulseco
I love you too

HAVE FUN CYCLING SEVEN THOUSAND KMS BRO *pushes away on scooter*
EdNigma1134
Why not challenge yourself by riding your bike without asking for up votes.
bolharr2250
Well mate, looks like your going on an Iron Man!
xaosbob
At this rate, you'll be biking to Antarctica. Good on you, OP!
MooseHeadHunter
OMG this is so in the Philippines. That wall just gave it all away.

Cycling is a great way to lose weight, tires are a bit fat for normal use as it will increase friction, but great for snow/mountain biking.

Either use it to work or play a mobile GPS game, Turf for myself.
Tealeaf101
do your self a massive favor and get a hybrid/commuter bike. thank me latter
RajBulseco
I have a commuter/city bike. Prefer my mtb over it tho
Tealeaf101
With 6k + km to cycle you might want to reconsider the road/commuter bike
Garzhuk
I wish I had a nice bike.

Here, have my downvote. Your heart will thank me later.

I did upvote but i can already see you trying to understand how to undo km's.

Walk instead. Bikes, unless recumbent, are tough on knees. Weight-bearing exercise is much more efficient, engages more muscle groups.
RajBulseco
RajBulseco
Maybe but I'll try and do it. I crunched the numbers and best case scenario I can do 220km a week. Worst case scenario 150km. At 600km 2/?
RajBulseco
A month it'll take me 10 months to reach 6k km. I'm gonna document the whole thing here of course. OP WILL [EVENTUALLY] DELIVER.
Goochami
How much do you normaly ride
RajBulseco
12k a day. Around 50 on weekends
Goochami
You got this
RajBulseco
240 km So far. I'm gonna die. Haha

+1 Because uded, but srsly if you keep up with this you're going to change your life.
gyratinggorilla
You should see about crowd funding a bicycle trip around the US posting pictures of your stops and weight loss along the way.
Thelema
Might be worth investing in a light bike, with small tires. Less effort for those... 2200 km.
Thelema
10 km to go to work, 10 km to go back, 5 days a week, it takes me 7-8 months to reach that total. The bike will need repairs.
nordicfatcheese
5000 km later.
ChristianBethge
You can do it, just keep on pedalling.

Looks like your going cross country OP

I saved you a km.

6,843km. Congratulations, you now need to bike once around the planet Mars. (The diameter of Mars is 6,792 km.)
IceFireXD
... I'm a dumbass. diameter != circumference.
ultravioletultraviolence
Make an awesome travel trip out of it and document it. I don't know where you live, but surely there's an awesome place worth a long trip?
yourcreepyunclefriendly
It's been six hours and you have to bike across the United states so far
odhranthewizard
3137km. Good luck!
orangearcadi
Good.
waitwasthatreal
You will be fine, just be consistent. I try to bike an hour each day. Start with distance goal, maybe 10k and work your way up
CrazyGuyOnABike
Grab a road bike and get ready for TransAm.
Daealis
Almost 7k at the time of writing this. Someone's gonna get fit as fuck over this year if @OP delivers.

3,000 km? That's 7% of the equator's length! Already greater than "Greatest north-south distance in the 48 contiguous US states: (2,660 km)"
imguriArdlyKnowEr
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-distance_trails_in_the_United_States helpful too
Thelema
You can also go "from the Redwood Forest, to the Gulfstream waters" (5140 km)
Thelema
Famous last words. 6758 km this morning. Might as well make it interesting. That is about the distance from Prince Edward Island to Victoria
Jmtc3Man
I would get different tires if you're on roads but either way congrats that's huge
mysticarchives
4422 now. 6 km short of Virgina Beach to San Diego.
mysticarchives
39 hr DRIVE. Hope you got some vacation time.
IAmGodot
I like that you used road distance instead of a straight line. But he wouldn't be able to use highways, so it'd be 4,616 km.
spoodermon
1597 km you got a trip around europe in front of you
plutonium
That's barely Finland end to end. Lots of Europe left after that ;)
spoodermon
from Helsinki to Paris is 2,625km, and OP now got 3,875points
plutonium
Paris to Tarifa is a further 1938 km
RepostFromLastWeek
OP didn't define a timetable. I'm a casual rider and I get 7k+ kms a year.
ohmegatron
Really? I rode Edmonton, Alberta almost to Vancouver and that was barely 2000 k. Can't imagine a continent being smaller than two provinces.
GrundleFondler
Depends on how you define Europe- Paris to Berlin is about 1100 km...
GrundleFondler
Oh and you can drive from Lisbon to Athens in 1 day 16h
davethebiker
I don't think you should leave it in the hands of others if you want to better yourself.
XxMoriusMacexX
I agree. Personal responsibility is far too undervalued nowadays.
sadduckfan
Honestly who cares were the motivation comes from as long as it works for you. Just don't do it for fake fame. +1 now go get it.
kuemmel
Telling others to do something can help since you then have more of an obligation to try it - if you are that type of person.
NorwegianLoveHammer
Definitely try and use something like Google fit for motivation (tracks activity, let's you set goals, local rankings, etc..)
Acarus
Outside motivation is fine, but discipline and determination has to come from within.
sharkmommychompers
What a positive way to look at the world, i commend thee good sir for having such faith in us!
GrannyLlama
I'm almost incapable of working out on my own. I go to a HIIT gym with a guy that tells me what to do. :D
XxMoriusMacexX
I agree. Personal responsibility is far too undervalued nowadays.
Acera
Nothing wrong with a bit of encouragement. Sometimes feeling a little obligated can be the push someone needs initially.
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
This!
RajBulseco
I know. But trying to set a goal alone often leaves me unmotivated. This way I can fool myself into thinking "imgur wants me to do it"
JosephVissarionovichStalin
Resolve will carry you where motivation and hope will not.
InCaseOfStairsUseFire
Alright sorry my other comment was mean. Take my upvote, but just this once.
skelitor120
I would normally call vote-whoring-bullshit on that but I can kinda feel that too about myself. Do it OP. Do it and be proud.

Hold yourself accountable by getting some application to track your distance and post updates here to help push you if you need the pressure
xtsnx
get mapmyride dude, plenty of people upload tracks to it, pick one and follow it :)

Advice you to find a race that makes you think "holytits i cant finish that" and sign the fuck up. That way you 'have too train'. 1/2
kawaiikittyDICK
Just stick to you goal and stay disciplined. Also, having a few pictures of celebrity crushes to look at helps me a lot. Good luck #OP.
Itsjustagoddamnpopularitycontest
I was in a terrible state fitness wise, jumped on my bike last summer and never looked back, fitter, confidence up, thinner and my dick is
Itsjustagoddamnpopularitycontest
3 inches bigger, so rocking a 3 half incher. JUST DO IT
jubsea
I find negative motivation works as well! " I'm a piss of shit if I don't work out today" lol
spypengen
try starting with 25km and go up 5km a week
RajBulseco
I go an average of 70km a week now. But then again £ bike to work. But I need more
spypengen
then try 100km up a hill and an extra 10km a week
Specialkay007
Fuck this. I hate seeing shit like this on Facebook. "One sit-up for every like" Fuck you. Either you're going to work out or you won't.
