Hello all. I am a new guy to this whole cycling thing. I stumbled across this sight when I googled "ten speed gears." I must say that it was very helpful. Some guys from church wanted to get me riding, so they have been loaning me the necessary equipment to see if I like it before I buy. My first ride was 4.2 miles. I thought I was having a heart attack. Today, one week later, 7.5 miles. Even closer to death. But seriously, I seem to be enjoying it after the pain subsides. Any tips would be appreciated.
