Hello

Hello, my name is keke and I'm a noob!

Just started riding, taught by a friend in a couple of hours about 3 weeks ago. Never been on 2 wheels ever before!

Since then, I've researched and bought a folding bike (tutor recommended one and I totally agreed as the fear of falling off those very large wheels on full sized bikes...)

I bought used, in case it was a passing fancy but I think I'm in it for life. Ridden in the underground carpark and ventured to the park with it in my boot.

My wrists hurt a bit but I assume upgrading handlebars would reduce foldability.

Still can't figure out how to stop or what to do when going downhill , seem frozen and paralysed!

Think I can make goodish turns but cannot ride uphill. The gears? I forget them when riding, can't do too many things at once.....

Still, a lot of fun!
