Crampy Arms

thanks, i was thinking the seat being lower than the arms (for urban bikes) i think made the arm positioning more awkward.. am still tweaking but will probably ask couple of cyclist friends to check my position as I ride..

this is my bike..

I would tend to agree - if your elbows are above waist level, it's bound to cause you problems.

I don't know anything about folders either, but it does look like your handlebars can come down some? I think there are several ladies here who ride folding bikes, so maybe posting a new message with "folder" or "dahon" in the thread title would attract their attention.

Hi Oakleaf... after some tweaking, I lowered the handlebars as much as I could, raised my saddle as far as I could manage (now on my tippy toes but i am ok with balance ) , and also lean forward a bit more when I cycle... a LOT LOT better! THanks for the tips..
