OzCableguy said:Excellent points! Yep, I am about as aerodynamic as a fridge at the moment
and with the seat post suspension I find I'm hammering the seat down as I
ride and have to stop at some point on the run to readjust it. Weather was
fairly standard today. Slightly overcast but not much wind so that wasn't
really a factor. And yep, I do find spinning on a road bike feels much more
natural. Eventually I'll become a roadie again but for the moment I have to
settle for hybrids. There's no way in the world I'd be able to breath all
hunched over on a road bike with my big fat guts, and I'd only bend it
anyway. ;-)
i've been commuting 3-ish days a week for the last twelve months.
i lost a lota wieght, a coupla sizes and my fitness is orders of
magnitude higher than its been in (8) years.. i started on an old crappy
road bike and migrated to something much lighter and faster =)
i couldn't use the drop bars to save my life before, but in the last
couple of months have been able to put in some good miles on them =)
give it time dude. put some miles on your bike and you'll get there =)
cheers,
Kim
