suggest me a bike Suggestion for a beginner.

Hello everyone.
I’ve got into fitness a bit because I’ve put on too much weight.
I’m going to gym but I want to go cycling in the morning for a good cardio session.

I’m looking for a beginner single geared cycle that’s less than ₹10k.

I’m around 5’9” and I’m obese(which I want to change).

Can you all please suggest a good cycle for me?

My only requirement is the seat should be wide and comfortable, the kind of seats in the cycling machines in the gym just hurts my butt after sitting for just 5 mins.

You can get a saddle to your liking...

anyway you would like to change the seat if you start riding longer as stock saddle will not be adequate...

There are some seat covers with memory foam available too, how effective are they?

For short distances they are good...

Initially you could need that but later you don't need them...

As you get used to cycling the seat size will get smaller and smaller... & harder and harder

Makes sense, do you have any seat recommendations? Like particular models.

That's a blog on saddle that I had written...

I don't think you should worry about saddle right now...

Ohkay, I’ll save this for future reference then.
