Heya - been riding for a couple of weeks now. Overweight, underfit, 39-yo, was given a bike by a friend over the winter, but only just got it out recently. The bike is a bit crap, one of those given out by the council in a free bikes scheme, but crap bike is better than no bike by a country mile! It's heavy, badly put together and bits of it already seem to be rusting, even though I keep it under a cover outside.
I'm now using the bike to commute to work most days, it's not far for me (2.5 miles) but quite hilly. Nearly died on the first few attempts, have let myself get WAY out of shape. Please tell me it'll get easier...!!!
Also getting out on the weekend, but don't have much time for it (wife & son, sure plenty of you know the drill...) - if I can spare 1.5 hours on one weekend day I'm doing well.
