Where do I start with cycling? I come from a running background and I recently started cycling due to an injury. My longest rides as of now are 15 miles in 1.5 hours. I hope to cycle a century in a few months or so. But I've only been using a random bike that I've inherited.

What bike should I buy? My budget is 600 - 800$ and I only bike on road and flat surfaces. I have no idea on what brands or what parts are good. Should I get fitted at a bike shop? Should I build my own one?

Also, is overtraining a thing in biking? In the running world, injuries are pretty easy to get if you increase mileage too quickly but I'm not sure if this applies to biking aswell. Is there some sort of program that builds you up to ride for longer similar to Couch to 5K (C25K)?

I had a dream

I just finished C25K, Week 5, Day 3 last week. During the run, I had a very slight knee pain that I was able to push through without any problems. After the run, I had a slight ache on the bottom left part of my knee only the left leg whenever I was walking. When I tried running or squats, it hurts more than walking. I t

Now I skipped strength training and running two times of this week. I train at Tu/Th/Sat and I already skipped the first two due to the pain. Should I run on Saturday when the pain goes off or should I run next week? Maybe I should rest for longer? I'm planning to get fitted for running shoes next week.
