I ride for 30 mins each afternoon and used to get my heart rate up quite nicely on the hills, and I'd come home after my ride feeling worn out but refreshed. A few days ago I moved from a heavy comfort bike (26" 1.95) to a lightweight road bike (700x28c) and am now having trouble getting that good workout. I've even tried tackling the biggest hills in my area that I wouldn't have dreamed of riding before on my comfort bike, and still I don't feel as good as I did after doing a small hill on my comfort bike.
Am I riding the wrong way? How do I get a good workout on a light and efficient road bike? How do I get my heart rate up on flats? This road bike is too darn efficient!!!
Thanks in advance for the help!
