Make sure you get your seat height close. Thats an error most new riders make. They run it to low and make it to hard for themselfs.
Stick your heel on the pedal when it's at its lowest. Your leg should be straightish then.

Not on the cycleway, no. Too many innocents may get bowled over. In our cul-de-sac though we have a loop at the end going uphill past the old folk's home and around and down back to the single entrance. Google Tauranga Pl. you'll see what I mean.
I may have to hold off the race until I can actually ride right around and back again though ...

That's one thing I did know, it's just a small matter of an almost complete lack of muscle tone. The brain says, "Push!" and the legs say,"What with?"

Went out this mowning and felt a bit better on the bike. Took it nice and easy along the flat preparing myself to tackle the hill again. I got up to the entrance of the old folk's home before having to change into the lowest gear and still had some legs left so carried on. As I approached the summit I rapidly weakened and was starting to struggle but gritting my teeth I forced my legs to keep pushing and just before I died I made it to the top!
I was exhilarated and despite feeling faint with exertion I happily coasted down to the flat and took it real easy back to our driveway. I nearly fell over getting off to push it up the driveway but managed to stumble in and break the news to Mrs. Bear who was of course very pleased for me!
Now I have done it once I will keep going until I can do it fairly easily then see about taking on an easy cycle track.

As a reward I took the MX5 for a run over the hill to Waiwera. Bit too much traffic to really give it some stick but managed a good second gear blat up the passing lane coming home. Each time I drive it I am reminded what fun is all about!

$475.00 for two bikes, gel seats, helmets, bike locks, pump and carrier. I took the carrier back as it was rubbish. Rest is pretty good for what we want.i bought a downhill bike for $3500 about 4 years ago now, still goes as good as new but i don't use it as much seeing as i bought a dirtbike

You'll find you've got a lot more in your legs than you think you do, as a mate of mine found out a while ago when a wild pig popped out of the bush and started chasing him, he discovered a whole bunch of speed he didn't know he had.
When you start seeing stars dancing in front of your eyes, that's when you're getting near your limits.
If you start spending extended periods in the saddle, you'll realise why cyclists wear cycle shorts, but if you're the modest type another pair of shorts over top works fine. And to be honest, I think overweight middle aged men in full lycra is not something the world needs to see.
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987
