Experimentation is Good
I'm in my early 60s and got back into biking for exercise. Got a new road bike with 700x25c tires that I found too hard for putting on the miles. Could never get comfortable even w/gel shorts/saddle. So, experimented with 32c tires and they are a world of difference! Seems easier to ride (rolls easier) but subjectively seems heavier and little slower. But at lower speeds, it seems easier to ride uphill AND it's easier on the seat (mine). Any similar experiences?
