3. Hands shouldn't be numb after 3 miles. Too much pressure on them. Get gloves, move your hands around, get more pressure on your butt so there are less on your hands.
4. Make sure you have high quality bike shorts. As in $75+.
1. Yes. The bike shop fit the bike for me when I brought it in.
2. Yeah, I'll try some gloves. Any recommendations?
3. What can I do to get more pressure on my butt? Lower the seat maybe?
4. Yeah, need some shorts. Any recommendations for those too? Not so much chaffing that hurts...more the pressure from the seat.
