Plus my rear end is too bony for my saddle. I strictly ride on pavement. Wish I could have gotten the FX but my back wouldn’t let me. The verve is a great compromise.
Put some miles on that Verve Tricyclekid, 5 rides in several weeks sounds like neglect haha. I got my Verve 2 last Saturday and after 4 rides I'm looking forward to riding it more and improving. I went for 25 miles yesterday and I really noticed a difference in how I felt after the same 25 mile ride nearly a month ago. My rear is sore today, and the back of my legs are really sore. I guess the different riding position has slightly different work on my legs.
