I bought a mountain bike and now I want to get a little bit into it in the future.
The thing is, all my muscle groups are completely made for hiking, especially long distance hikes.
It's almost ten years since I last rode a bike.
How do you get in shape for biking?
I did an easy 17-mile loop yesterday on a regular bike trail to get used to my bike. Some parts were tough as I do not have the endurance to push forward when it comes to uphill sections.
And let's say it, my butt and sit bones are pretty sore as well as I'm not used to sit on something that hard like a saddle.
Any ideas on how to get into shape and used to riding a bike. It's funny but at each uphill section, I thought I can hike it up faster than riding my bike.
How did you start and how long did it take you to get used to it?
Definitely can't wait to get out again and get into shape to do more fun bike stuff
