New-ish to bicycling thanks to this bike trailer I found for free!

Found this older Burley on marketplace for free, all it needed is a $25 part. I got it fixed up and have been riding about 15-20 miles a week since May. Not much but it’s a start! I signed up for my first organized ride and will be doing that in September (with no trailer).

My bike is just a regular ole Mongoose from Academy, I thought it was pretty cool but I’ve seen some hate about it. It works for me for now so I don’t care much but I am definitely going to be looking into something more road-cycling friendly within the next several months. This thing is heavy and with the trailer even more so, my top speed is only about 10mph but I’m sure that will improve as I ride more too 😅

Also…I’ve lost about 16 lbs with riding and a minor calorie deficit, so it’s a win for me 🙂
