The whole purpose of getting the hybrid is to commute, which i do about 1-2x a week. It is in traffic and for now, i like having a flat bar. By the way the Trek 7.7fx is a sweet ride , it also is gourgeous, white with black paint. Turns out i am cyclist and a functional aesthete too.
I have not been stretching properly, need to get back into the habit of the pigeon and runners pose amongst others.
I am glad to hear eating encouragement. Cheers.
Little update for everyone. the lower seat position did help along with a lot of stretching with the sore hips. Also i need to eat to ride....
I am Still riding 2-4x a week, for 50-90 minutes each time. I bought a Trek 7.7fx as I mentioned before and it really has helped me get used to riding on the road and to have a light agile bike. I think I am ready for group rides and ...wait for it....a road bike....
After like 8 weeks on the 7.7fx....
