I'm rather torn on whether I think this or the couch-to-5k (http://tinyurl.com/4gtmz) idea is more for me.

1. Purchase secondhand biking accessories to save money. Check out websites like eBay or Craig's List. Visit thrift shops like the Salvation Army.

2. Padded bike shorts help provide comfort. I liked the fashionable look fo the Women's Simple Short ($70) on www.spinning.com. The more durable and comfortable they are...the more expensive.
