I am New to biking
I from Mississippi and I have watched people ride the Heart O'Dixie Triathalon for years and always wanted to bike. Well here recently some neighbors and chuch members started getting into it and riding 2 to 3 times a week. My bike came in today. It is a Schwinn road bike. I live out frome the city so we are going to ride abunch of back roads. Have not rode a bike since about 10th grade anything anyone can offer up in advice would be appreciated. God Bless.

Welcome to the forum and back to biking. My only advice is to keep the wheels facing down and the seat facing up. If you find a pedal in the up position, push it down. When you've mastered all of that, you will be ready to move on to the Advanced Cycling course.
