They should fit rather snugly. In this manner those important private parts can be held up and out of the way. I know of nothing more disheartening than to come off a sprint and sit on a vital part dangling out of position.

I learned a lot when I joined a few rides with the local club in Swords, particularly the gearing tip. I used to ride a bike like the car, heading for the highest I could push. They taught the merits of spinning a nice cadence.

I also struggled to find time and was ending up with a long (35-40 mile) Sunday morning run followed a week (or two) of doing nothing. I recently switched to cycling to work – about 20-25 miles there and back, and now manage up to 100 miles through the week and feel a lot better on the bike.

dB.

The best time that works for me is early morning. It’s bright at 5am! Less traffic, best part of the day etc. Can get in 1-2 hours with no loss of family or work time. Also get to see less TV, as you go to bed earlier!
