Old Man wroteFucking hell just pedalling is proving difficult enough at present never mind wearing all the gear.
Embarrasing how bad I rode my new bike
Cuts is right. Stick with it. You'll make loads of progress really quickly.
A good tip is try and avoid freewheeling too much. Try and keep a steady cadence when you pedal and like Cuts said work through the gears.
Going downhill relax. Keep your arms loose. Try and get onto the drops (inside the bendy bit) as opposed to resting on the brake hoods when you're descending. Takes a bit of getting used to but you'll have more control and braking is easier.
Enjoy it. You never feel shit after riding your bike....
