Buy a really nice early 2000s road bike with a big squishy seat and a new helmet and go for a 1 hour ride every day. You'll see way more of your community than walking an hour every day. That gets you within a 6-9 mile radius from your house.
- SyzygistSix 5y agoThe only thing I would add is that a big squishy seat does not equal comfort. Sometimes small saddles fit the best. Find a saddle that is comfortable; they are worth paying the money for. And riding for a while can get you a lot more than a 6-9 mile radius. More like 40 miles.
- hadlock 5y agoYeah I have a rock hard saddle myself, which is ultimately the better solution, but "sore butt" seems to be the #1 complaint from new cyclists, is the only reason I recommend it to absolute newbies
