I’ve just began to cycle again. I had been running quite a bit and got injured. To stay strong, I have been riding my mountain bike @least 5 times a week for almost a month and in order to get a good workout, I ride or use a trainer for at least an hour at at time.
My crotch still hurts! I’ve been fitted for my bike, I’ve got the gel seat, nice bike shorts, I’ve done everything but that’s what’s ending my workout. How long does it take to toughen up?
I have seen this beautifall mountain bike that i want to buy, but may be going abroad at some point, will i be able to take it with me?
