old people are not as flexible as you kids.
I'm not flexible at all, it's my main problem with road cycling. But I started taking yoga for just that reason :-)
In any case, I still don't get how moving your center of gravity towards the back in relation to the bike, helps with his numbness. I mean, doesn't moving the bars after sliding the seat backwards, negate the effect by keeping the distance the same?
