I really don't have anything to add to the great advice these women have already written, except to say YAY!! Woohoo!! Another awesome woman has made the choice to ride a bike! You might not know it, yet, but you are about to start getting in touch with your inner athlete.

I have found biking (and I came to it a little later in life) to be incredibly empowering, energizing, and FUN. Yep, sometimes frustrating, and sometimes humbling, but ultimately, wonderful!

And, you came to the right place. The women on this forum are remarkable, and awesome!
