Beginning Biking, Day One

Last time I rode a bike was approximately 2006 or 2007. So, about 6 to 7 years ago, maybe more.

I got a new job, which is within biking distance, and because there's no parking, it sort of requires a non-automobile commute.

Got my bike all fixed up by my good friend, and took my first test ride.

Distance of about one mile, lots and lots of coasting. Worst part was biking to the top of the pedestrian/bike bridge. Thought I was going to die. My ass hurt the entire time...well, not my ass, but more like where my thighs meet my vaginal area. My legs went numb. I feel like I'm going to vomit. I took about a 5 minute break at the top of the bridge and then went back down, riding the brakes the entire way because I'm so terrified.

I hope this feeling of puking, numb legs and sore ass is temporary. Is there an "It Gets Better" video for riding your bike?
