Hello all. Just joined and look forward to learning and getting advice. Little bit about where I'm starting.
Due to age and 2 young children, I've decided to better my self and body. I started about a week ago dropping soda from my diet. It was very bad, at about 5 to 6 cans a day. That has gone very well switching to water and past any addiction humps'.
I hate walking and find it boring so I decided to bike again. Reason is I know I will enjoy it as I can explore and go farther then simple walking. Another big reason is I can bike with my children, which I am very excited for.
After some long research I found the Trek FX 1 Hybrid bicycle. It fit my budget and reviews were fantastic for a beginner. I love it so far and feel I chose very well for my first bike in almost 30 years.
Question and advice time. Being that I haven't rode in almost 30 years and almost 200lbs of laziness, I would like to know what is best on how to ride. When, how long, and what to watch for with my body. After 2 days I can't ride more than 10/15 mins depending on if I ride small hills or flat rode. I chalk this up to just starting. But would like to know what would be best for training my body.
Also I have experience sit bone pain quickly. Most research are adverts for this seat or those shorts. While I am looking for shorts, I'm wondering if this is just using parts of my body I haven't used and need to wear in. Like blistering your fingers for guitar playing. I fully expected this in my legs but the sit bone was not.
I would also like to welcome any other information or advice from your experiencing that may help.
Thank you in advanced and appreciate everything.
