harper said:Having ridden for only three days and having sore upper legs or thighs
indicates that Jerrick is probably right. Get that weight onto the
saddle and think about raising the saddle some. Riding a block on a 20"
after three days practice is nothing to sneeze at. Congratulations and
keep up the good work.
When I first started I'd ride 100m up the road and be sore for several
days. When you first start almost all your effort is in trying to keep
your balance.
Harper is right about getting your weight on the saddle initially. It
helps with balance, which is what is taking up all your effort at the
moment.
Once you're comfortable however, the objective should be to shift some
of that weight onto your pedals and handle. I'm always standing up off
the pedals and shifting my weight around. I also have a lot of my
weight on the handle. But anyway, get the balance bit nailed first,
before getting your weight off the saddle.
