Hello from Brownsville, Texas!

Hey guys! I decided to join the forum because I have decided to pick up cycling as a hobby. When I was smaller I would ride my bike 24/7, however, once I got older and started college and my job time made this impossible. Consequently, I have gained a huge amount of weight I have decided to make time and get a used 2006 Trek bike and a Schinne cruiser to start me off. I currently get tired just cycling around my block but am hoping to get better and eventually do miles . If you have any advice I would love it, thank you!

Welcome to BF. Start riding around the block and add a lap or two after a week. You can do it! Before too long you will ride miles and miles.
