I just bought a Diamondback Viper bmx bike from somebody so I can just take a stroll around the neighborhood subdivision. I bought the bike because I was wanting to exercise my dog more. I am 5'4'' 116 Ibs and the bike has 20"wheels weighs appx 30 Ibs.
I thought it would be easier than walking and would be able to cover more distances over a shorter time.. I just rode it and it is so hard to go up a hill!! Hills aren't even steep, just a regular ground where it's going up. I couldn't go up so I had to just walk with the bike.
Should you be able to stroll easily around the neighborhood with a bmx?
Is it the bike type's fault or am I too weak?
I don't know anything about bicycles and this is the first time riding since I was rode a couple of times when I was like nine.
