rode my bike & now am very sore

it's been a while since i rode my bike, maybe too long

i hurt all over, my wrists hurt from putting me weight on them for so long, my neck hurts from holding my helmet up, my fingerz hurt from the reach to the levers, my back hurts from the head down, bum up riding position

as for the seat... my bum hasn't been this sore like since forever!!

i only rode 6 miles...

that's it, i'm selling the mountain bike!!!

cycling is terrible, why are cycle paths so full of potholes?

this whinge parody was brought to you by concerned bikers against exercise

Wait for tomorrow, I wouldnt plan on going to the cinema or anything where your seat may be considered uncomfortable. You have my sympathies (not that I can spell it).

I Know that feeling well. Got me a nice pair of cycle shorts and even then it hurts! The answer, build your own recumbent bike. Once I start my new job I will start work on that project again.

Bicycles are so thin! The steering is loose, the seat is like a spike! never again

You're supposed to put the seat on the bike before you ride it!!

That's not how he rolls...


Just fitted some new tyres to mine - now have pretty much no rolling resistance - huzzah!!

I was getting sick of slowing down whilst freewheeling down gentle hills

i've had my mountain bike for 10 years and the tyres still have the little rubber spikes on them...

You'll find it easier if you put road-tyres on instead, and after 10 years the originals will be degraded to the point where they could go "pop".

Look Schwalbe puncture-resistent ones



Oh, and the ar$e-ache will pass

I love it, did 18 miles on a crappy mountain bike last month. Peddle arm fell off but i enjoyed it, only wish i had people to cycle with.

Anyone keep checking wing mirrors when riding a bicycle? lol
