Today as I promised myself I took it easy. I only rode my bike 3 miles. During that time I got buzzed by a couple of cars. I really need to get at least a left-side mirror so I can see the A-holes coming up behind me. I usually hear the cars but I cannot detect their speed and distance before I get buzzed. I did not ride the main roads either. This is happening on the 25 mph residential streets. Once I got home I decided to make a few adjustments to my bike setup. Since my wrists and butt are what is so sore, I thought I would start there. The gooseneck on the bike has an knuckle type adjustment that allows me to tilt back the handle bars. The seat post has an adjustment to add preload to the spring shock so it doesnt bottom out because my fat ass is too heavy when I hit bumps in the road. Both these adjustments seem to have helped my rider comfort. I guess I will know more after tomorrows ride.
