I've just bought my first road bike ( Giant OCR1 '06 - saved about $300 off retail price) and I went for a ride 2 days ago. I found that at the end of the ride I had really sore palms and really tight muscles around my neck. I've heard that this is due to leaning too much on the handlebars...
Is this a normal thing?
I'm coming off a mountain bike...and yes I've had my stacks at the traffic lights when I couldnt unclip...
and another thing..
bike shoes and clipping in...how do people manage to do it when you're trying to go uphill? I tried this around Fairfield (in Melbourne -> the Yarra Blvd) and I couldnt manage it until it flattened out...
Cheers
