I bought myself a Schwinn 26" conversion RK mountain bike! I am hoping to be able to use it fairly regularly and eventually view it as a fun activity rather then just exercise. It was a pricey investment and so I want to set myself up to like it best. Any advice did a newbie (and very overweight) cyclist?

    Get some decent cycling shoes

    Decide at this stage whether you are going to go for flat shoes or clipless. I love being clipped into the pedals and would never go back now. You'll get used to them after an hour and they're really not as intimidating as they first appear

    Have fun
