So far I haven't become stiff and/or experienced being unbalanced when stopping. Can't say that about driving, the stiff part, but then there's not much moving going on behind the wheel.
Next month is my 66th so that means 132 + 2 for good luck and the first 100 will be a PUM or P ride. No stopping except to Pick Up Money or Pee. Been doing 65+ without stopping so I recon I shouldn't have an issue. What I do-do to change up the motion before stopping is to include plenty of standing pedaling in the 53/12. Pan cake flat around here so I pick a headwind to ride into when off the saddle. Sure does work other groups of muscles.
