Welcome!! Yes cycling is for everyone. You just need to have fun, work within your abilities, and then work up in stages. I started on an old beat up Mountain bike back in 2009, my first ride was 2.5 miles (I wanted to turn around at mile .25, but went the entire distance). I put my bike up for a week because I was so sore I couldn't ride it again, but worked up to an 8 mile all flat ride. The next year I purchased better Mountain bike (still road the paved trails though), then a Specialized Vita Elite Hybrid (love that bike) and now I ride a Specialized Ruby Elite Apex road bike (full carbon frame). As you can see it is now 2013 and I have ridden a 60 mile training ride and I am working toward my first 68 mile ride currently. Long story short, just have fun and ride as much as you can. If you find that you love cycling then you can move up to better equipment or just continue riding what you have, just remember to have fun and enjoy the journey where ever it may lead.
