Cycling "virgin"

[HappyMartin]

Try Yoga. I have a friend who is an instructor and she has researched Yoga for cycling for my wife and I.

 

We do lots of stretches and core strengthening work.

 

It's the most effective thing I've tried.

1. buy a bike

2. have it set up properly

3. ride, ride, ride (find a group to ride with. It helps)

 

in that order...

Welcome to the world of two wheelz!

 

Buy the right bike size with bike fit.

Road cycling is more elegant and less expensive *clears throat*

Get some chommies at a slightly stronger level to roll with so you can quickly grow strength.

Thanks guys- I thought you had to do a fit before buying a bike- guess I was wrong.

Thats what I said! Glad we are in agreement again Dale!

Not sure how tall you are. The link below is for a bike that would be perfect if you are around 175 - 182cm tall. It is a Ride-Lite so, as per my earlier comment will be more comfortable on the back. Also well spec'd Shimano 105 at a very fare price. At R7000 it would be a steal.

Got a cycling buddy of mine to check it out also and advise on other options as well.
