Welcome and just turn the legs for now. Then gradually turn them harder and for longer periods of time
And Find out what Pie is about before you go much further.
Stap,
If the oldfeller has been motorcycling all his life, he already knows all about N+1. I have seen the barns and out buildings of motorcycle collectors that make any bicycle hoarder I have ever known just look silly. Personally I have three bicycles but own five motorcycles.
Oldfeller,
Welcome aboard! There are a number of us around here who ride both human and gasoline powered two wheelers.
As for advice I would say;
1) Ride often. They don't have to be long rides but do get on the bike more days than not.
2) Know when to take a day off to recover. If you are sore or overdid it take a day off or do an easy recovery ride.
3) Don't expect to become fast or ride long distances over night.
4) After you have gotten used to riding by yourself for a while, start looking for a local group of riders who go at about your speed and do some group rides. It can be a lot of fun and very motivating.
