Easy for him to say, he's not 56. My cycling club has a 35k leisurely passed ride on Sunday. I know my cardiovascular system is up to snuff - but I'm not sure my bottom is. Any advice?
it's your seat. I can ride 70 miles+ on my bike no pain, and I can't take more than 30 minutes at the gym
on the stationary 'bent' the seat sucks... don't ride in pain. get a seat that works for you.
