So I'm guessing your new Giant is a kind of enduro bicycle  or is it a mountain bike?
The seats look a little low too.
Bubba I guarantee you 100% a bicycle, if you approach it properly, would get you not just back into shape, but get you in the best shape you have ever been in your life   |

Couple of questions?
I will only ride around the neighborhood which has a 10 degree grade of about 300 yards then mostly flat.
I have not owned a bike since I was 10, some sort of Schwinn 10 speed.
The bike must be comfortable.
The type of motorcycles I drive all have flat seats and wide handlebars and I sit straight up. I think the term is Standard. Just for reference only.
What type of bike?
Up until 50 I was able to run 5 minute miles. Now would be around 10. I am 6' 2" and weight 180lbs. Due to some health issues I have not lifted weights in five years. Body fat is 12%. I do have high blood pressure.
How should I start out?
I trust you guys more than my doctor or the old people, I mean those my age, that work at Wal-Mart.
