How can i get into cycling?
I am an avid cyclist and started racing road bikes about 4 years ago. I started out like you: I had a mountain bike and actually knew nothing about road racing bikes. I just rode because I liked it. My advice to you would be this: If you are just starting out, don’t push yourself too hard. Listen to your body and rest when you feel like you are tired. Rest can be just as important for getting in shape as training is. It’s ok to push yourself occasionally, but I just give this as a warning that if you go too hard for too long, you risk suffering from burn-out, both mentally and physically. My other bit of advice is to just keep it simple and fun. You don’t need a lot of fancy, expensive or high-tech gear to enjoy cycling. As you gain more experience you will see a need or develop a preference for nicer or more expensive bike stuff, at which point it is OK to go ahead and buy things like that. I’ve seen a lot of people with a bike and gear that they’ve spent thousands of dollars on that
