Yep, I thought it was just the gear positions. It wasn't though. It's a heavy cheap bike. I'm planning to get a better one or to change the parts. I'll try to post to post some pics of the bike on a different thread for that problem.
What other stretches are there for the quadriceps? By the way, thanks for the link. It's really useful!
