I just did a 20-25 mile ride today around my city. I told myself to use the brakes, but it just didn't come in need. I skidded maybe only few times throughout the whole ride because the feeling of it after the ride sucks. I just relied on a lot of backpedaling. Like someone said earlier, it is like working out your triceps after years of focused workout on your biceps. I guess I'm just getting used to back pedaling after years of "forward" pedaling. I also decided to give hop skids a try and it definately feels like it is easier on my knees.

I'm probably going to go to a LBS to see how my bike fit is for me very soon.
