I got a new Nakamura road bike. Store didn't give me warranty papers, unable to locate Company Web-site, so a bit disappointed with this.
The pedal comes with a sort of a cover, this seems small for my size. Need to get used to this.
I did the test ride on this just now. Pushed it all along the road until I got to a safe zone. This road bike needs a very different kind of balance, Moreover, the head/back is really bent over the handle bar. Hence, head is closer to ground, one needs to be real careful. Also, in this position, the blood does rush to the head.
Also, the seat is real small and one needs to sit carefully, I still need to learn to do this otherwise, this also might cause injury.
I felt real tired today and returned home soon after I got this feeling. Then went and ate out, also had a coke. The strain was quite a bit.
I am male/40, over wt. by 35 lbs, never used a road bike before. How long will it take for me to get used to this road bike (or will I be able to get familiar with it at all ?)
Advice/Support appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
