And now our bikes can love each other too....

On a side note: I went in for my fitting yesterday and when I got home to jump on my bike I couldn't even mount it. The seat is so high! It's actually the same height as M's and he's 6'4. I don't know how I will even get on my bike, let alone clip out without totally killing myself. Is this normal? Am I not suppose to be able to touch the ground at all, not even with my tippy toe? Advice? I'm thinking about just lowering it a bit even though that will screw with my leg postion.
Happy Wednesday All :)
Haha, hugging bikes.
ReplyDeleteI have no advice on mounting (heckle heckle...)
I love your dress! Post more pictures of the front please :)
ReplyDeleteI think you should be able to touch the ground. I mean how else could you stop at a light or something?
Where did you have your fitting? I can't touch the ground when I'm on the saddle but I hop off when I come to a stop anyway. Did they give you your measurements?
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, I like the pics too...
I can just barely touch the ground with my tippy toes when I'm in my saddle on my tri bike, but I have always gotten out of my saddle at stops.
ReplyDeleteI say give it a chance, at least on the trainer. My rode bike and tri bike fit REALLY differently, and when they are next to each other, my tri bike seat is way higher.
I don't have a tri bike, but I'm a huge advocate of hopping out of the saddle when you stop anyway. It's kind of fun, and gives you some extra control.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the abouve comments- when I am in the saddle of my tri bike I can get my very tippy toe on the ground if i really reach for it. I always have to get out of the saddle when I come to a stop.
ReplyDeleteand I love the pictures :)
I had the same problem when I got my tri bike last spring! I was convinced the seat was too high because I couldn't reach the ground. I would use the curb to mount and dismount. My coach would say - jokingly - that I would need a step stool on race day if I didn't learn how to mount without the curb.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, I found the transition to my tri bike like learning how to ride all over again. Your position - and weight distribution - is so completely different from the road bike. I was pretty shaky my first few rides. Have no fear - you'll pick it up quickly!
I can barely touch the ground on my tri bike, and I have the little baby wheels. You don't unclip during a tri anyways :)
ReplyDeleteNice bikes!
