You might want to research ischial bursitis. I was diagnosed with that last month after having pain for several months. I got a cortisone shot and I'm easing back into cycling now.

Good luck!

I tore mine in high school, acting in a play, but that part's not important. It hurt like heck when I first did it, had to use crutches that day, but it gradually got better and only felt weird or...

So after staying off the bike since September (!) and trying to focus on skiing and yoga instead, I finally got back on a spin bike last week and this pain flared up again! I went to a sports...

Thanks everyone. Sounds like most people who have 'em really like to ride 'em. I tried one out on the track about a month ago and it was really fun. I'll keep y'all posted if I end up getting one :)

I'm considering getting one.

I have a carbon road bike right now, but am thinking of adding to my collection.

If you have a fixie, I'm wondering how often you use it, and under what...

That sounds exactly like the problem I've had for about a month and a half now!

I went to a sports med. dr. and he couldn't find anything wrong. Well, I'd been basically off the bike for 3 weeks,...

I did have a professional fit on this bike early in the season, but there wasn't much attention paid to my saddle, since I'd been riding on it for over a year on my old bike, so I already knew how I...

Ana,

I wish I had an answer for you.

I, too, get headaches after just about every hard ride. I have never been able to figure this out. My BF insists it's just a result of hard effort and...

Thanks for the replies.

The only thing I've changed in my setup is a backward shift of my cleats about two weeks ago, since my feet were getting numb. That resolved the foot problem. Is it...

Has anyone had to heal from ischial bursitis or other pain in the sit bones?

One day last week I got on my bike, after riding 2000+ miles this season, and had a sharp, pinched nerve sort of...

Kfergos, I was sort of wondering too, whether they want pictures of commuters or of the commute. I was thinking a picture of other commuters encountered on a particularly nice part of the commute...

Are you passionate about riding your bike to work or school? Do you have a camera? Do you want to be a part of a story in Orion...

The way I cut out sugar was to read everything I could about how bad it is for your body. The thing that really got me to stay away is the idea that it's really the yeast overgrowth in our bodies...

Very cool! Where's your team located?

Hey Jen,

I can show you some yoga stuff that will build core strength. But I highly recommend going to Core Power Yoga (there's one Uptown and one in SLP) and doing the free week of unlimited...

Jen,

When I am able to do yoga at least twice a week, I actually get ab muscles. Can you make up a little pilates/yoga program that you can do at home a couple times a week?

Kate

Thanks for the reply.

I've been practicing for about 3 years, and mostly do a classes, but will do yoga at home if I can't get to a class. I've read lots of books on the philosophy of yoga and...

That half the calories in that thing DON'T come from fat. Who would've thunk.

Jen, congratulations on your successful ride with clipless pedals! Good thing you had the nice wide Time pedals so you can pedal easily without clipping in when necessary :)

Hope to see you out...

I have a similar black vanderkitten jersey and I have a medium and it's really big on me. I usually take medium in other brands, so I was sort of surprised. The vanderkitten shorts, however, seem to...

Yay! I did my first commute of the year today, and there was free food from Whole Foods at a morning commuter event in St. Paul, which is right on my way to work :)

I hope to ride at least once a...

Spring is the best time to find money on the street, at least here where the snow covers everything all winter.

I used to go for money walks, and not let myself go home until I'd found a certain...

Gave some of it to the Trust for Public Land, and some of it will go toward joining a CSA. The rest will help pay off my BLUE :D

It's awesome with the components it came with. I took it to my team's sponsor shop, NOW bikes in St. Paul, and they put it together and put on my Aliante saddle and Time pedals, from my old bike.
