Sitting Correctly
I've been looking around alot about how to sit properly, I've found some good tutorials but even when I follow them I still get fatigued really quickly. I've been riding bikes for a long time, my typical road ride is 60+ miles so I can't imagine my legs are out of shape. I put a lot of pressure on my legs for stability and can only relax when riding fast, but even in a "relaxed" state I still use what seems like to much upper leg muscle for stability. Does this just develop over time or am I making a simple error? I try to sit upright and straight, but after a few minutes my legs get a bit tired, I am trying to ride my unicycle a few miles, but so far no avail, any ideas? (I have a 24" Sun Unicycle, I'm not looking to get a coker or anything I just want to ride what I have around town) Thanks! -- tumbles ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tumbles's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18783 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75472 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Problem solved. Stop standing, and just sit. Hold onto something and let your legs dangle pretty much, maybe youll fall or let the uni slip out from you, but at least youll feel what its like to have full weight on the seat and your legs just limp. 80% weight on the seat, 10% on one pedal, 10% on the other. In time youll relax a bit more and it will come naturally (I hope) but its better to apply a bit more discipline to yourself and nip this quickly. -- Jerrick *Press Alt+F4 to fix post stretch.*[SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC]JC~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75472 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
