Get the right fit for that bike!

With summer here in full force now, one thing I've been noticing is the amount of bike riders in my area. All the way from 6:00am to in the later afternoon, bike riders have taken to the streets and bike trails to get in that great cycling exercise as well as get a dose of fresh air you just can't get while in front of the TV.

But is that bike giving you the best "fit" that it can? Are you rising on air of riding on a meat hook? If you're feeling pain or discomfort while riding anything from the seat to the bike's size could be the problem.

The solution? Bring your bike to a cycling center or specialty shop and let them advise you on your body shape and the bike that fits it as best as possible. After all, you want to enjoy cycling and the fitness it gives you, not be frustrated by it!
