So it’s be more than a decade of me riding a bike. That since this whole plandemic, all the bikes were sold out in stores and were expensive online.
Now that they were back in stock or whatever that was available. I grabbed one that was adjusted for my height. Since I’m 5’1 short.Now the seat is super uncomfortable and pointy. That I thought “okay, I’ll buy a different seat later. I wanna ride it now.”
Well, upon riding it down the hill street and two blocks around 2X. My legs were feeling like noodles and I was getting light headed and dehydrated like I was going to throw up.
Yes. I mountain bike all the time. That means you were pushing your physical limits. I now do 20 mile rides in the forest average 10 mph and getting my heart rate up to 200 bpm and it will cause me to vomit. That is my physical limit. My body is saying no more. It happens to all good athletes but much harder. When I started after 3 miles I was vomiting. The last time I felt that way was 8 miles in 48 minutes around a local track. You probably need to ease up and the intensity of your workout if you are doing that after every ride.
That is not fair for me to judge because we have different needs out of the bikes. I have two bikes. One mountain and one endurance because I like to push myself. You seem like you want more of an cruiser with a good workout. If you are serious about getting into riding I would recommend a higher end bike that has better parts. That being said used that bike for awhile until you decided what if you want to continue. Happy riding.
Cruisers I'm not sure never looked Into them but it can definitely vary. I paid 2k for a top end endurance bike. My mountain is middle of the road full suspension for 3k. Dont get me started on top end mountain where just a frame can be 6k. For cruiser if I had to guess the very top of the line might be 1500 but a good middle somewhere around 700. I'm not sure about that but that is where I would put it. I don't know where you live but gravel might be a good alternative for you.
I want to add gravel can get expensive for good reasons so be careful. You probably don't need the higher end stuff. The racer does. Remember it has to fit your needs. That's why we got my mom an entry level mtb hard tail so she can do gravel and stuff at our local levy but still have decent street performances. Our levy is pretty gnarly so she needed beefier than gravel.
I have a local bike shop that I go to. But I would stick to big name brands like cannondale, trek, Santa Cruz, canyon, giant, GT. Diamondback is mixed for me because their frames are really good but they put sub par parts. Giant is the cheapest out of them but still great bikes. Canyon is the best for the money but they have a ton of hassle sushi as you have to build it. I personally ride cannondale but want a canyon. There are other brands but I don't know if they produce anything that fits what you are looking for. They are yeti, nukeproof, ibis, BMC. Last one is specialized. I don't know anything outside of their mountain bikes but I'm pretty sure they make street bikes too. Those bikes are really good and almost went with them over my cannondale. My bike shop gave me a better deal so I went with cannondale.
Have fun. Enjoy the ride and most importantly be safe. Biking can be dangerous depending on the area. I live in an older area so half the people can't see over their steering wheel so keep that in mind.

Hi I'm back!
I bike to work if that counts... but if that made me feel like puking then I should be worried because then they wouldn't let me into my shift. Thankfully it doesn't! This was my bike that got stolen last year. I tried to upload the photo of the yellow one I bought to replace it but it won't for whatever reason.

I have puked from running before. It's possible I've puked from riding a bike, but I don't remember it if I did. I've been light headed from overdoing things many many times.
You are just out of shape. When riding a bike you need to force yourself to ride slowly, especially when you are warming up. It's VERY easy to overdo yourself on a bike. I used to ride 30-50 miles a day. I've ridden as much as 110 miles in a day. Even being in shape I still had to force myself to ride slowly until I got warmed up.
Riding a bike uses different muscles than you are used to. You need to get the muscles used to it (especially quads), and get your cardio up to it.
Me too. I didn't gain a huge amount of weight, but I gained some. I started eating worse because I used to go out to salad bars a lot. I started eating at home more and it tended to be a lot more starchy foods.
I started hiding inside also, and not even doing yard work. I seriously need to break out of the rut.
Yeah. Using zwift the first time I virtually climbed the alpe d'huez in under an hour I felt nauseous. Worth it though.
is that a dropper post seat? I'm not that used to modern mountain bikes but it looks to me like it's set for downhill at the moment. It would be hard to peddle far like that.
Just noticed wheel size. Yeah that's definitely a kids/youth bike which is... fine given your height. Probably. But the setup looks wrong. At your whopping height of 5'1" you are close to the max height for this bike so probably should have it configured at its extreme and it doesn't look like it is to me.
It doesn't sound too serious. You maybe were not used to the exercise. Did you skip breakfast or did you have sugar or a soda just before. Did it only happen once or does it happen every time?
after a bit over one year of not going to the soccer fields, I am expecting the first day comeback to be a lot of pain. but it's the good kind, so maybe you were just exhausted.
I suck at riding a bike. I learned then didn't practice enough and forgot.

yes when i hit my balls on the bar. but it might just be that your body isn't in that great of shape now, so your body has to get used to that type of physical activity again. It's probably not the bike's fault. Looks like a pretty normal bike.
