I ride for exercise, and I'm riding 3 bikes with different riding positions - drop bar road, semi-upright moustache, and upright Map bars. I try to ride each every week, because each uses different combinations of core muscles and thigh muscles. (The 3 bikes also shift differently, and the change-ups are fun.) The drop bar road bike - have to ride it the fastest to feel like I'm exercising. My upright is no slouch - it's a quick, efficient, and well-geared bike. It is definitely a parachute, and I'll pick one of the other bikes on very windy days. With the bars properly dialed, though, never had a problem going long distance on the upright bike (over 60 mi) - as long as you can keep wrists straight and grips (and shoulders) relaxed.
As far as saddle comfort - for me - Brooks Swallow on the drop bar bike is the most invisible saddle I've ever ridden. Next up are the B17s on the other two bikes. Saddles, though, are where mileage varies for everybody. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
