Are you for real or not? You are either a hoax, or you are a very depressed person. if the latter then get on your bike and ride, it doesnt matter whether it is 1 mile, 100metres or 100miles. Enjoy life.

switch off the computer, go down to your local bike store, ask advice and buy a bike.

there is NO other way to start bike riding. You need motivation.

if you need friends, join a bike club.
