I began training in road cycling today and it was quite difficult for me. The coaches gave me a suitable road bicycle for my height but my hands just couldn't comfortably fit around the handles and breaks. It's like my hands were too small to do that. I got scared I got scared I would loose control going downhill as I could not confidently break the bike.
Does road cycling favour people who are taller and lean. They seemed to be the best at the club. Am I too short and not skinny enough to become a good road cyclist? I feel disheartened, I've been on this for ages. There were so many people there who looked like professionals and rode like them, they're so intimidating to be around and I feel pathetic not being able to get this under my control. I don't like being in a group with younger children. Will my genetics limit me from becoming as good as I hope to be?
