Hi, I have bought a bike to start saving money around town. I used to depend on my car, but thought I needed to save money a bit so I want to start cycling into town instead. The trouble is, I haven't had any decent excercise for over four years. I am unfit. I am 18, 5ft4 and weigh 9stone; but when I've been out cycling yesterday and today, i could only go for about 20 mins. But this doesn't get me anywhere near to reaching college in Sept which is quite a distance away.
I have NEVER cycled before yesterday, but I am wondering what I can do to increase my stamina and energy and stuff. I don't hit a great deal of speed cos my legs ache. I'm sure you get the idea... i'm just unfit!
Anyone who is experianced in this stuff please give me sensible advice. I don't want answers that say "your fat" "your just lazy" etc, because your just wasting my time then. I want proper advice from people who know what they are talking about. :) thank you.
