I just got a new bike Trek road bike from a comfort bike or hybrid. I was going around 14 miles and got as high as 30 on my old bike but I was on my 2nd mile and was so tired. I am wanting to go farther
1- The seat-I feel like I’m riding on a piece of slate. I know this is a matter of getting used to it.
2- The gears- they are not numbered like they are on “The Blue Banana” ;-) and I have no idea what gear I am on.that arrow does nothing for me. I need numbers!
3-speed- and I’m spending alot of time coasting..I go so much faster on this bike easier and seem to be pedalling air alot.
4 I get tired easier it rides so much smoother than my old bike. so I’m not sure why I’m tired unless its because I’m used to riding sitting upright and this is more leaned over. also it could be that it is so much easier to go faster
