Hello everyone. Glad to have found a source of inspiration and information. Just took up cycling in the last four weeks. Got a folding mountain bike which will go into the car to transport me to cycle paths. Currently doing 8-14 mile rides 3-5 times a week. Don't do hills, traffic, great distances nor speed just yet!
If you are ever on the Alloa-Dunfermline cycle path and see a middle-aged woman going slowly on a blue bike peching - that'll be me! Hoping it gets easier!

Your distances seem fine to me, more than I was doing when I first started. Keep to the cycle paths if you feel safer on them, you'll soon get more of a feel for the bike and build your confidence.
