Hi everyone! A few months ago I decided to make some changes in my life. I started going to college, I'm eating a lot better, and trying to get into shape(definitely a clyde!). I use to love bicycling as a kid, so I figured that would be a good way to get into better shape.

Right now all I have is a beach cruiser, I'm trying to save up some money to get a entry level bike, but I'm more or less broke being a college student who works for his dad doing construction related stuff, but there has been very little work the last year and a half.

I live in florida and am riding around my grandparents neighbor hood, a giant 'circle' around a lake, about 5 miles, almost no flats, all ups and downs.

Beach Cruisers are good on the flats, the bike should do for quite some time. Five miles is nice ride. WELCOME, good health & enjoy!

Welcome to Bike Forums. Riding hills on that beach cruiser will greatly improve your strength. It will be good preparation for when you get you new bike.
