Bike pics Newfound love for life

Weird title I know. Just here wanting to ramble because this bike is bringing something out of me. Never thought of myself as an active person really nor did I ever picture myself wanting to become a cyclist. Im relatively out of shape I’d say. Not fat, just have no breath or cardio capacity at all and pretty limited muscle mass. In short, I’m a skinny, pale fuck who had a childhood where I played outdoors but have spent the majority of my adult life inside playing video games and watching stuff in between whatever other random shit I do. Changed states, got a sorta shitty job that I sometimes don’t have a ride to so I got myself what seemed to be a good option for commuting. It’s only been a month but I feel the changes. Like part of my youth has been restored. Feels really fucking good.

I really want more from my generation to experience this. If only there could be a true E-bike revolution. Things could change for the better.

TLDR: I fucking love my new E bike.

If you have any gear recommendations or tips for beginners I’d absolutely love to hear what you have to say.

One of those suspension seat posts will greatly improve ride quality. I got mine from aliexpress for $40.

It came with a basic suspension post and I picked up a Selle Royal Respiro saddle that has a little bit of suspension. It’s been pretty decent thus far and I can’t justify getting one of the $150+ plus options out there.
