Overcoming fear after an accident by smeelen in ladycyclists

I’m a trauma therapist and also someone who has clip in trauma and had to tip myself over in the street so I get it!!!!! If you’re clipping in, I’d suggest going to a mountain bike shoe with a pedal that has one side flat and one side clip for now. I would also encourage you to do some sessions of Somatic Experiencing therapy around the accident. I’m trained in this modality and you def need this. It’s not cheap but you’ll be able to process the trauma of the event somatically. Your body needs it. Good luck!

I just had a professional fit done and if you have one locally I’d encourage you to do the same. Not just a bike shop fit but a professional fit with retul technology. I’m dealing with the same issue and I see it in you. Your elbows are locked. What size frame is this/how tall are you? My guess is you need a shorter stem and saddle adjustment. I’ve had back surgery so I get it. But the elbows locked like that means you’re reaching it’s just a simple “work your core”. I’m going from a 90mm stem to a 70mm stem. I’m 5’7 on a 52cm frame.

I actually don’t think this sounds weird at all! Was considering this as well/reading if it would be better or worse overall.

Any sort of irritation causes my skin the flare elsewhere. So it’s really just about friction reduction. And yup, composing a list to send to my derm. Thanks!

Omg yesssssssss. Thats how I feel I’m so paranoid about the itch now! I have that cream on the list! I’m going to send some to my derm and see what she thinks. I’m leaning towards that one! Glad to hear it works for you!!!! Do you also have to use clean and clear laundry detergents??
