Hello, it's been a long time since I've rode much.

First time out, I couldn't believe I was out of shape that bad. My legs burned in a very short time. 2nd and 3rd times were better. Returned the bike I only rode 5 minutes, I could tell I wouldn't like it. Better bike, a hybrid, went 2 miles around the house, wasn't to bad. Next day went to an old rail trail and rode almost 8 miles, was a workout, but felt good. Next day rode 5 miles around the house again, checking out distance to different locations. I get tired, and wet, but feel better.

And yes I did get a good helmet, better than my bike, from what I've read so far about bikes.
