Joeaksa,

Thanks for your response.

I will not ride on heavily traveled roads. As a car driver I wonder about the intelligence of people who do so. (Death Wish?) I am interested, for now, in riding in the suburbs around my house. Very few cars.

Still trying to find a bike forum as good as this one.
I found out today that I need to stay on the "flat" until I build myself up a lot more. I had to walk the bike home the last block uphill.
