Hello there my 2 wheeled chums
My wife has recently bought herself a shiny new road bike, having got up to riding 20 odd miles on a cheap full suspension mountain bike.
Is it normal for there to be much of a transition?
She's struggling with her arms, it feels like a lot of her weight is going into her arms and hands. Could this be down to incorrect riding position, being too tense, or just having to adjust to a different riding position.
She's also complaining that her quads are burning while she's riding. As she's well used to riding, she wasn't expecting to be back to square one.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
