My cousin Bridget is a big time bike rider.
She goes on insanely long bikes rides just for fun.
She has a special off road bike, biking outfit, lights and even a mount for her phone. My cousin takes biking really seriously. She is always trying to get me to do various biking events with her. There is a recent one that is a charity bike run. People pay you for every mile you are able to ride towards the charity. I don’t really want to do this, but my cousin is pressuring me and it is for a good cause. The issue is that I am not too confident on a bike. I always feel like I could dump it. Stopping and starting is really upsetting and sometimes I take turns too wide. I have been practicing maneuvering the bike around and getting more comfortable. I have learned in my practining that I need to tone up some biking muscles. My legs are always dead after a very short ride. My butt especially hurts after sitting on the seat. I thought about going to a gym and doing the sit down bikes for practice. There is a core progression near me that offers personalized training. I wonder if they have a private fitness class that I could work on biking skills and muscles. I bet the core progression has a wide variety of stationary bikes for me to practice on. It would be nice to have a certified fitness expert correct me on what I am doing wrong.
