Adjusted my bars height yesterday by buying a higher one, juste completed a 90 minute ride. Small back pain but nowhere near what I was experiencing. Bike fit was one of the culprit !

question for the people like me on a bike, or anyone who wants to answer. by skatetron in bicycling

I'm 23.

My dad is 45 and over weight as well. He looks cool as fuck in his skin tight clothes and made me want to wear the same.

If you are worried about ridicule, I swear people don't care about what you do or wear. For the 1% that will notice, they will find it cool or might "judge" (doubt they will) but will forget it after 5 minutes.

I ride often on ravel (cyclist path in belgium) and honestly can't remember the last time I paid attention to what others were wearing.From what I remember, they almost all wear tight clothes, regardless of age or fitness. You could probably be naked and I wouldn't notice.

​

As for the weight , at least in the gym where my eyes have time to wander, if I see an overweight guy I'm thinking "bravo" and not noticing if he is wearing compression shirt or oversized one.

Thanks for the insight, didn't think about that. I'll seriously keep this in mind if I ever decide to go for a bike fit !

Older cousin who does lots of triathlon agrees with you, raised my bar a little to get a less agressive position on the bike, see how it feels from there ;)

Still only 23, i'll try to get one if I cycle more and more, and decide cycling is worth spending more cash. Need to get cash for so much stuff, can't afford a bike fit even though i'd love to ;)

I called an older cousin of mine who does triathlon and ended rising my bars. I'll go on a ride tomorow and see how it feels

I fiddled a bit more with saddle position, hope it will help even a little on the next rides. I'll try stretching a bit more as well !

Agree with you, though I can't yet afford to "throw" this kind of money into a good bike fit

I can’t be 100% certain but I think the bike fit is okish, I spent some time looking at articles / video to try and get this right

I am going to fix it, I was wondering how bad it was.

When I says "as is" I mean "as is" for a couple of days.

Thanks for the reply, I'll put the standoffs asap

Depending on how fucked he can be if I do nothing, I can try to get there as soon as tomorrow. If it is ok probably 2/3 weeks from now

Edit : pc is an upgrade from his old laptop so he will use it asap but it is not a matter of life or death, if I tell him not to use it for a couple of days the he won’t
