That's not very many miles. Give it some time. You'll probably feel more comfortable as you ride it more. To me, "new" always feels unfamiliar.

But I know what you mean by those skinny tires. I ride my mountain bike WAY more than my road bike. Those little skinny high-pressure tires on the roadie make me feel like I'm on ice skates.
