I hit my legs on the pedals of my hybrid when pushing it somewhere all.the.time. I don't on the road bike. I'm not sure why... I think b/c it is so much lighter and lower, I can push it w/ 1 hand and walk further away from it.

I decided tomorrow I'm going to ride free - no cleats. If I like it, I'm going to do that for awhile until I have more experience on the road bike. Maybe doing that will allow me to heal my legs without adding more bruises!
