For the last year I have focused on strength training, did kettlebells for a few months and eventually got some 80lb adjustable dumbbells. I’m currently on week 18 of a 20 week program, lifting 6 days a week, and feeling extremely stronk.

It’s warm where I live and only going to get warmer, and for the next year I want to start focusing on cardio and endurance training, lifting 3-4 days a week, and continue losing weight.

Got a stationary bike for $50 from FB marketplace, and found a 2010 Fuji road bike in excellent condition. Bought it for a song, fixed up what I could, and now it’s at the bike shop to fix some of the stuff I can get justify purchasing tools to fix myself. It’s stuck there till Friday, but I’m still riding the stationary bike every day but leg days (cuz them shits are gnarly).

Any other bike enthusiasts in here? Im looking for any and all advice for new riders. Also, I live in city with deeply carbrained, bike-averse infrastructure. What are the best ways to stay safe on the road?
