So I've finally made the decision to give cycling a good shot.

Took the bike to the local shop and they helped me get everything set up. I've probably put about 100 miles in so far and my body is killing me.

Hands go numb after about 3 miles. Crotch is killing me at 5, neck, back, arms hurt at 7.

Is this normal? Crotch hurts the worst... Should these things be going away? I trust the shop that helped me set up the bike but maybe I'm just a wuss.
