So...I'm an anxious, non-athletic person. I never played a sport in my entire life. The thought of playing baseball, for example, scares me to death. I'm the person covering my head when the ball comes my way. Likewise, I never learned to ride a bike. I *tried* to learn, but it freaked me out so much that I just couldn't do it.
Now, I'm 30 and overweight. We live one mile from our community park and splash pad. My husband can ride a bike, the oldest kid can ride a bike, and hubby can bull a bike trailer with the two little ones. I would like to be able to bike to the community park with them, mostly for exercise. I love the thought of biking the mile to the park or the half mile to the pool. I've looked into getting a 3 wheeled bike and I really like the idea of that, but it's about $270 and only has one speed.
Could I even bike a mile? I mean, I'm not morbidly obese or anything, but could I do it with this one-speed adult tricycle thing? Is it worth the money to invest in a bike?
