2. It's not too bad, but I have "saddle sores" and won't be getting back on it for about a week. LOL

3. Sorry you fell off, but don't give up!

I'm proud of you, too, for getting out there and getting some exercise. :yourock:

Regarding saddle sores, I'd recommend investing in some decent cycling shorts that have a chamois in them.

They help with that sort of thing, especially if you're going to be doing any future rides.

Take it slow, but have fun with it! The springtime is a gorgeous time to be outside, riding a bike!
:woohoo:

I just got back from a 42 mile ride, with 3200 ft of climbing. 3 1/2 hrs. :bounce: Feelin' great!

Hope you're enjoying it, as well!

7. Do those shorts come in massive sizes, because that is where I am at these days

12. I wear a womens size 16 or 18

There are shorts large enough to accommodate my ba-donk-a-donk.

14. I could maybe get those up to my knees LOL

[SPKrazy]

6. Oh no!

hope it wasn't a bad fall!

glad you got some exercise though!

I need to get my bike out and ride it. Not sure where I'll store it right now though...

hmmm

:hi:

9. The reason I fell is the bike is a wee bit too tall for my wee little legs. I hit a corner and

tried to put my foot down to steady myself, but couldn't reach the ground. So I fell to my side and managed to land on my back. No pain, not even a scratch. :)

11. Can you lower the seat?

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. It's down as far as it can go :^(

8. I gotta get back on my bike

My husband finally got a bicycle so we can now go on rides as a family.

10. That's the plan here. The kids are faster than I am. I need a way to keep up other than walking.
