Bike commute on my beat-up Marin Larkspur, trail runner; love both...but hate my Cannondale road bike! I would love to go out on wknds and ride distance but I have a mental block and fear the bike. I'm hunched over, it's uncomfortable to shift, hard to stretch and reach the brakes, etc. Yep, bought it on a whim 2 yrs. ago, didn't know what I know now thanks to reading the forums, want to have a bike fitting. Went to the DC bike shop where I bought the bike and was yelled at for asking for something to be done to make it a more "stable" ride. I want someone to listen to me, understand what I want to do with the bike, etc. Sorry to be so long-winded but, damn, it's frustrating when you feel dismissed by the bike shop techs.
So...can anyone recommend a shop that will do a bike fit on an existing bike? If I have to, I will buy a new bike just so I can do long rides, especially since my husband is getting frustrated too that I won't ride anymore when he goes out but I want to know what's currently wrong and what I need to look for in a road bike. I live in Washington, DC so any shop in a 100mi. radius will suit me just fine.
Thanks! Suzanne
