Well done and youll find after a couple of weeks of regular riding if you do that loop around your shopping centre again it wont take 20 minutes keep it up.

As others have said just keep it up, 2 years ago i wouldnt dream of cycling 4 days and a week and playing 1hr of footie, now i am and even go out at the weekend which i never used to do either

Well done Steph! As others have said, focus on just getting out and enjoying some short rides for now. After a couple of weeks you'll naturally feel like you have the ability to push a little harder. You'll be up to 10 miles before you know it

been on me first ride and rode around the outside of me local shoppin centre as I live near it I did just shy of 2mile on a comftable high gear and felt fine just a little out of breath and slight jelly legs when I got off haha took abt 20 mins xx

Nice one Steph, keep it going. Its a little harder to make that push to get out at the moment due to this lovely summer weather but stick at it and it does become easier.
Don't push too hard too soon, and if you can find someone to ride with, the miles pass without realising.

Hi Steph, I notice in your OP that you are 5' tall. Did you make sure that the bike is suitable size?

unfortunately I didnt really I made the mistake of just "it looks right it will do" but credit to the guy who helped me in finding a new bike he made sure I tried a couple out and 17" with seat post up was right size he helped me loads more than the lad who I first got served by x
