And you can't say that you flipped over the handlebars and not tell the story.
they arent hilly, and idk what gear to do i got gear 1 speed 7 or something like that
The bike is the bigbest adult size 26 i admit i could lose weight (if bike riding can even help that)
As far as flipping over i was riding and a car went straight through a stop sign so i slammed on both breaks flipped over and caught my pants on something cause now the butt in my pants is gone

Im trying but i work so many wierd random days now that I cant go to work sore

The desire to be a rider I think is the most important thing and clearly you have that. So take it slow, it's not a race. What is right for you is what's important. Baby steps my man. Good on you for going for it!
Keep us posted.
I am going to be posting results from strava everytime i ride as a way of keeping it posted and we shall see how i do from there.
