Hi Michael, I'm in a similar situation. I'm 38 years old and learning to ride an old bike in London for the first time. I've been doing it in parks for 10 minutes every other day.

This is cool to hear about! I've been seeing and hearing about virtual rides since COVID hit and hadn't heard any follow ups on how they actually go. This sounds like a fun way to do it if you can't in person. Do you ride on a trainer indoor and interact with a screen or go out and pedal, upload a ride, and then see where you "went"?
