I am going to ride every day though so I can increase and get my legs strong. I am going to get my own bike too this was a guys bike and a little tall for me.
Wanna get a 21 gear bike I think, this one is only 3
I really want to be able to ride 2-3 hours a day in a month or so. Its still a bit cold here and spring does not come really till May here.
Welcome here!
If you're at 10 minutes right now ... I wouldn't expect to be up to 2-3 hours a day in a month's time.
A more realistic goal might be to get up to doing 30 minutes a day 4 days a week, and maybe 1 hour a day 2 days a week.
Then as your summer progresses, build up to 2-3 hours.
Also, try to incorporate exercise into your day.
Walk as part of your commute.
Walk at lunch.
Get up and climb stairs a couple times a day.
Just don't sit all day long.
