& Techniques
Riding in Comfort
Comfort on your bike plays a major part in determining
how enjoyable your riding experience is. It could be
the difference between a fun 25 mile ride or a hellish
day in the saddle wrought with pain and leaving you
and your body dreading ever riding again.
The Fit Factor
One of the most important ways to increase your ride
comfort and decrease your post ride pain is to ride
a properly fitted bicycle. Poor bike fit can cause back,
neck, wrist and knee pain. Whether you're a recreational
rider or performance oriented cyclist proper fit is
crucial. We see poorly fit bicycles everyday. Regardless
of where you bought your bike we can make recommendations
to help make your bike fit you better. A few small adjustments
to the seat posts, bars or seat could make a world of
difference and leave you looking forward to the next
beautiful day.
Tires for the Terrain
Having the correct tires for the type of terrain you
ride will also greatly increase your comfort, as well
as making the ride easier and safer. Tires that fit
your riding style do not have to be expensive. We carry
a range of tires from $15-50. If you have any questions
about your current tires come into the shop, well be
happy to help you.
-Ride On.
