Hello from Tucson
Hi Folks,
Today it was my first time riding a road bike. The bike is the schwinn solara from target.
According to Strava I did 7miles in 37min. It was a nice workout. Felt good. Easy on my knees and feet. The chair is very uncomfortable, though.
Other than that I think I found a morning exercise I can stick with, I’m liking it.
Thanks!

Welcome to Bike Forums! Here's your first nugget of learning: it's called a saddle, not a chair. Enjoy!

Welcome to Bike Forums, carofe! I need to spend more time in the "chair", and less on the couch.
