Are you shaving the area? Some folks get ingrown hairs and chaffing from shaving and riding.
Have you tried the "glide" sort of products that runners use?

Hi Chatnoire, and welcome.
Shimano (and SRAM, and Campagnolo sp?) have different levels of cost and quality for their group sets. (A group set, or grupo sp? is a set of components that are...
Good for you!
I donate regularly, and haven't had a problem, but I do try to take it easy for the next day or so. I'll ride, but go easy. And of course, no housework is allowed. It's a rule!
...
Miranda!
It's the same root as admire, to look at with wonder.
Dear Dog,
I'm just going to the bathroom, really. I don't think I need a chaperone.
And thanks for always being glad to see me when I come back out. The ego boost is wonderful.
Love, Your...
A quick thought about size. Different brands and bike geometries (how the different tubes and such are angled) give very different results from the same numbers.
Happily, many bike shops will...
I would do what your PT says because s/he knows your situation way better than we would.
Swimming (as your PT suggested) sounds good, because you can not stress muscles and such if you vary...
The point of hills is to go down them as fast as you can! (There are probably hills and conditions where that's not a good idea, but in general...) That's my inner 12 year old speaking :)
Glad...
And he said he'd ridden the last 5k on a flat tire. Amazing!
Roundabouts seem increasingly popular around here, but for folks with vision impairments, they're really difficult. At least that's the message I've heard from some local people here in response to...
I ride an aluminum bike with a carbon fork and seat stay, and the ride's very comfortable for me. Maybe roads around here are less rough?
My aluminum bike is every bit as comfortable as my...
My friends and I up here joke that Subaru is the official car of professional women in the upper midwest. I love mine, though I've managed to slide on occasion despite the AWD. (I'm not the most...
Purdyd for the win! Road trip!
Congrats on getting close :) And good luck on finishing up your goal.
Good luck with your project!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in what you learn.
Would swimming be okay? You could use one of those floaty things so that you didn't use your legs as much at least some of the time, perhaps? (One of my friends loves the noodly floaty thing.) You...
Great to hear that you finished the ride!
And yay to you for donating. The Red Cross folks here say that a single donation can help up to 3 people. So that's way cool.
Ride safe :)
My fat burning zone is a big hill. If I rode it a dozen times a day, I'd burn a lot of fat. /nod
I hope the surgery goes well, and you recover quickly.
That bike is going to be FUN! Enjoy!
I have to put in a good word for aluminum. I know people talk about how it's a stiffer ride, but I don't notice a difference in comfort (though mine does have a carbon fork and rear wheel stay). ...
I think Darcy makes an important point, though. For some of us, seeing numbers and keeping track helps us. For some, maybe not.
For me, when I get frustrated or feel a loss of biking joy, I try...
I donate regularly, biking season or no. But I don't race, so my riding isn't highly pressured.
I try not to ride the day I donate (before would be fine, but not after), but do an easy ride the...
That looks fun :)
I look in a mirror :)
Or down at my right leg, where there is ALWAYS a mark from my chain, even if I haven't gone 10 feet yet.
I don't think we can properly understand without PICTURES!!!
OMG, please pictures :)
Edited: doh, the pictures appeared!
YAY, that's a Beauty! Very sharp! Thanks for sharing!
I'd go to whatever bike shops are around and do some test riding. Maybe try a triple and a regular double and a compact double on some hills and see which makes you happier? (I swear by my triple...
