I ended up picking up my bike yesterday with a bunch of suggested accessories. I took it for a ride this morning and two things are very apparent to me; I need a wider seat and I am VERY out of shape. I managed to go about 3 miles down the road before I had to turn around. By the time I got home I was totally winded and had to sit for a half an hour. Very sad. At this rate it will be a while before I get to ride off road for any distance. I remember when I was around 12 riding all day long and thinking nothing of it.
