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. <br /><br />In 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!Emily P (@trirunner302)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09628589384608827656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795270944691031004.post-29775208070297697472011-11-16T11:23:03.362-05:002011-11-16T11:23:03.362-05:00I agree with the abouve comments- when I am in the...I 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. <br /><br />and I love the pictures :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239321052632091395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795270944691031004.post-13867742765623553752011-11-16T11:02:43.764-05:002011-11-16T11:02:43.764-05:00I don't have a tri bike, but I'm a huge ad...I don't have a tri bike, but I'm a huge advocate of hopping out of the saddle when you stop anyway.

My rode bike and tri bike fit REALLY differently, and when they are next to each other, my tri bike seat is way higher.LoveOfShoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657349431464642197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795270944691031004.post-1370549251714007442011-11-16T09:45:54.188-05:002011-11-16T09:45:54.188-05:00Where did you have your fitting?
