Regular
Ok I’m not sure if this is going to be a case of me just adapting to my new bike & needing to toughen up a bit. But I’ve just got a new road / racer bike & I cycle quite regularly around 4-5 miles a month doing probably around upto 20 miles in a round trip & that’s been on a hybrid. I go running twice a day most weeks & swimming 3-4 times a week so it’s not like I’m unfit or the muscles are being underused. I did wonder if I’d started working different muscles.
I’ve only done a couple of short rides on this new bike & both my shoulders & hands around my thumbs & fingers get quite sore, is this just me getting used to the bike as I’m riding in different positions? & any creams or will gloves help my hands?
