I noticed I have a tendency to pedal like I did when I was a kid-- Spin like crazy for a short time to gather speed then coast. Way back when, I could put the pedals on the ground making hairpins, and it wasn't any big deal. It *kills* me now, I'll have to learn to spread the pedaling out, and relearn the appropriate amount of resistance to use. 10 yr old me would not be impressed!
