Hi everyone,

This is my first ever adult bike. I got her 2nd hand and she is nothing fancy like you guys have. In fact I feel quite silly posting but at the end of the day I like my bike and im proud I have taken the step to help my slimming world weightloss journey with a bike to help me get fit.

My bike I have nicknamed Cara, she is a Carrera Vengeance and in amazing condition. I got her for £80 which I think was a bargain.

Ive only ridden her twice as only had her 3 days and im so sore LOL my sit bones feel so bruised!! Ive ordered some padded shorts.

I hope you like her x

    Not everyone on here has really fancy bikes. Or even more than one!

    It's a nice looking bike. It's a shame I can't find bargains like that round here...

    When I got back on a bike (after a very long time!), I got bum ache while riding and could barely walk the next day because bits of my legs ached I never knew were there. It really doesn't take long to get over that. Even after a couple of weeks I could ride much longer/further and without the leg ache afterwards.

    Nice looking bike. Have you got used to the gears yet?
    Hopefully you'll start to enjoy riding for the sake of riding, then the weight really will drop off! I recommend looking for some purpose-made trails once your confidence has built a bit. That's when a MTB is really in its element. Happy riding!
