Hi,
I am a real noob when it comes to bike riding. I can ride a bike but it pretty much ends there. I live in a pretty hilly area and I was thinking of trying to go bike riding about 20miles every weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
I normally workout Monday, Tuesday, Thrusday, Friday. Lifting weights and running. So I figured i could probably add it biking on the weekends.
When I go for a ride what should I look for in order to get better?
I am going to get a speedometer for my bike which is an Ironman Triathalon. I bought it when I was about 10 but It still fits me pretty well. It has thick treads however unlike a roadbike.
Would you recommend me getting a new bike if I were to get into riding?
Also what is a good speedometer to purchase that I could take off my old bike if I bought a new one?
Do I need anything else for my bike?
Now, when I train should I be looking for consistancy of speed while riding? or something else?
What is a good speed for a goal of mine to reach consistantly?
Please anything else that I need to know please tell me.
Thank you
