STANDING UP...Whats the secret??

[Scarlet]

you know, there's muscles involved, but it also has to do with the bike. I have had bikes that felt very WRONG to stand up on. My last two suddenly i could stand and pedal.

Also, i did some spin classes and we stood a lot in there this winter. That was helpful.

Hey this is really quite correct
some bikes are really ok for cycling seated but not real good for standing
when you need to do both........
try em out b4 you buy
eg. (for me)

trek hybrid....good to sit and stand and anything else you care to throw at it!!! hills, road, canal bank, mountains

Dolce ("specialized" D4W) Road bike... only for really smooth roads **** to stand was a bit tricky

again a "specialized" bike (boys or mens!!) ab fab for standing and sitting road

you do need to try bikes before you buy
hope this is helpful
