I am still learning how to do the cycling thing better, but my tips are: a)
wear a good helmet to protect your head; b) ride a comfortable non-cruiser bicycle; c) use a good lock so your bicycle doesn't get stolen; d) incorporate cycling into your
daily activities; e) padded cycling shorts
+ chamois butter are essential for long rides; f) gradually build up distance to cycle the long rides, taking breaks as you need them and g) have no shame in using your granny gear (ie, your lowest possible gear) for the big hills.
You might remember some of my previous wellness posts: STAYING HEALTHY DURING THESE WINTER MONTHS, WORKOUT
