Hi all,

I finally bought a bike (not the bike I expected to get) yesterday and rode 9 miles. Keep in mind that it was not strenuous, but I did work to pedal and there were 2 small overpasses I climbed.

Today all that hurts is my rear end from the seat (I don't have padded shorts yet). My legs are like nothing ever happened. Is that normal or did I just not work hard enough or correctly? If I would've run 5K after not doing it for a while I would've felt the leg/thigh soreness the following day.

What does hurt is where the neck and shoulders meet and I am wondering if this is due to the bike not being at the correct angle for me or just me having to get used to a different position. I already have issues with that area and don't want to exacerbate it by improper fit. I did buy the bike at a LBS. I am giving it a a week or 2 to see if it goes away or improves before going back to them to make sure the bike is properly fitted. Any thoughts on this?

I am 5'2" and have a Cannondale Quick 4 Feminine, small.

Thanks!
