One good thing about being out of shape and riding to work, 3 people are now thinking about biking in to the office. They see me do it and know they can do it if they just put out the effort.
Way to go!
Keep it up it gets easier..even the hills!
Going up hills is building potential energy that you use on the way down so you do get that effort of climbing (walking or riding) a hill back when you go down it..(from "Apollo 13" you can then 'put Sir Issac Newton in the drivers seat')
