Hi
I bought a bike 3 weeks ago for the basis of helping lose weight.
I was 19stone 8 and through a combination of eating correctly and cycling at the moment I'm 16,11.
I started off 1st time on my bike which apart from my motorbike I haven't ridden a push bike in over 20 years since I was child.
I started off doing 5 miles then a rest day 5 miles next day then I upped to 7 miles at the moment I'm up to doing 14 miles every other day.
Is this the correct thing to do? Should I keep upping my travel distance?
Also I am actually really enjoying it being out on the bike even more so than being out on the bike with the engine. But that 1st mile is awful I totally dread it, it almost like my legs haven't woke up if that make sense after I stop for a couple of minutes I feel like I can go on for miles it just this 1st mile I struggle with is this normal?
Thanks
