This cyclist friend of mine who usually asks me to post inquiries on X (he is shy) biked 800 hours w/little pain. A pro bike fit showed saddles were too low. Raising caused unbearable tightness on one side in the inner thigh, IT band, gracilis, & below the glutes. Wait & Adapt?

@PhilCavell I’ve just started reading your book - at 39 maybe ever so slightly ahead of time. I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying it and how beautifully written I’m finding it to be. Great analogies to explain concepts - I’d bet you’d make a fab teacher.

@KatyCycles @gazza_d I visited @PhilCavell @CyclefitUK a few times. He wrote the book The Midlife Cyclist and specialises in “broken people”. They also have velophysio work with them a couple of times a week I’d love to say I could work with you but scoliosis is beyond my scope of practice. For now

Massively overlooked part of bike set up Moving your saddle back and forth rolls your pelvis so changes your point of contact on the saddle and the shape of your lower back For every 6mm back, lower saddle 2mm to maintain leg length

Bike ride ✔️ , mild but very windy, layers were on and off. Thank you @HackneyBikeFit for the saddle advice, moved it back 10mm and so far I’ve had no coccyx pain 💚. Now home for homemade chilli and chips
