skinny tyres and lightweight frame....?

I'm betting it was your ass wanting to get off that seat which gave you the ten minute personal best

congrats
yeah, i was gonna comment on the luxurious seat.
What about some big easy rider handlebars
I pulled my old mountain bike out of the shed for the first time in about 5 years.
It all comes back to you quickley, like ........ i don't know what.
Enjoying the riding and might do it a bit more often, but i'm NOT riding 30k to work anyday soon.

Reli. Congrats. haha, we both got new toys :)

You'll loose those man boobs in no time. personally I prefer the handle bars lower and seat higher than pictured...That must make it all feel down hill. If you find you're getting less of a work out now just add maximum possible spokey dokeys and a flag to indicate wind speed and direction.

Yea it will never be anywhere it has to be locked and at home its secure in the locked garage.
My work caters for bike riders perfectly.

I cycle in and out of work ever day now which is about 38kms round trip should measure it really.

My ride home today was great although heading into a light seabreeze i stopped and enjoyed a part of the river i rarely stop at. Fantastic.

Nice one PR!

I've got to get my bike out of the garage. It's a beautiful blue Shogun Alpine GT and it looks at me forlornly every time I go in there. It's just like this one except with a more comfy saddle to suit my heroic proportions:



Hmmm... Think I'll change my avatar as extra incentive.

It must be spring fever, last week i picked up a really good nick 1970's 10speed at the tip that just needed oils and air. it was strange to get back on something so narrow and easy to pedal. and like your giant the seat will have to go. when i rode it into the bike shop to get a new gear change lever they thought i was bringing it in to put in thier museum. when i said I was going to ride it they sold me new tyres and tubes at half price .
the biggest lesson for me was that I suddenly felt vunerable on the roadwith my head down and bottom up , so when i got home i dug out a helmet and have started wearing one

Nice one reli! I wanna get a roadie soon!

as for the sore bumb are you wearing proper riding shorts? as stupid as the look they are very comfy as most have pads in them. i wear a pair that are for MTB and they are a bit kiter'esque

they have the tight lycra bike shorts underneath a normal pair of shorts and they are connected with pop studs. very comfy. u can find them and more here

If they dont help then i think u just need to get used to it. or shave down there lol

im also the proud new owner of a shiney new bike!

Heres a piccy.. not a road bike tho, but still awesome!
