Getting more comfortable on the bike

As I was on the bike on the trainer in the garage last night i noticed how much more comfortable it is for me now. I’ve been doing some intervals and have found that i only feel pain at my peak resistance.

I hadn’t spent much time on a trainer before this injury, so it’s interesting to see how it affects my form. When i first got on the trainer i noticed how much i was trying to sway side to side. Hopefully this time on the trainer will help me stop doing that as it seems like a big waste of energy.

I’m probably still a month away from hitting the streets on a bike, but i’m getting really antsy about it. I’m hoping to start adding some miles to my morning commute once i’m riding again. The spring is a fantastic time for bikes! Soon i’ll be loading up the trucker and going camping.

I’m also thinking i might be well enough to do some easy hiking. At the moment i’m thinking i may go out for a flat stroll on sunday.

  1. we’re all pretty used to you swerving on a bicycle. Interesting to see if that improves.
