Pain from riding

At one time, I found a great web site that helped you adjust your position
on your bike by looking at the pain you were experiencing. I can no longer
find the link to the page. Does anyone have any references to sites that
relate biking pain (eg, knee, back, calves, ankles, etc.) to one's position
on the bike? (Note: I'm already aware of Sheldon's info on this topic.)

Thanks,

Jean

The following web site is about 'setting up a road bike or mountain bike'
and if you probe around on it in regards to seat height, angle, and
forward/back position and reach it will talk about pain in the shoulders,
neck, etc.

Try mixing riding with other activities like
swimming.

One is interesting -- the world is your living
room -- but gets uncomfortable after an
hour or so..

The other is pleasant for about 20 minutes
before you get bored as hell looking at a
stupid black stripe.

I think what you're trying to find is Sheldon Brown's "Where does it
HURT?" page.

Sheldon's got it all.

Enjoy.
