At long last, I'm finally getting into cycling properly ! On top of that i'm trying to take the bike more often than the car to work. It makes parking much easier, plus my place of work already has storage area designed for bikes (We use bikes at work !)
Quick question for those much wiser then I am...
The frame size of my bike is correct, as the smaller size was far too... well, small !
I find the drop bars very comfy to hold on the tops, but getting down low for a descent means I need to consciously flatten my back and tilt my hips forward to get comfortable (not stretching too far with arms)
Is this something I'll eventually get used to ?
This should (hopefully ?) show the position/angle of the bars.. Can I tilt them up at all ? / would that help ?
From what I can tell they are in the correct place using the "can you see the hub" method...
