Ow, My Perineum
For a long time I looked down my nose at people with sore asses after riding their bikes. Now, two days into my return to bicycle commuting — or rather, by three miles into the first day (and today is the second) — my ass feels like I am smuggling hot coals betwixt my cheeks. In other news, I bought new camouflage handlebar tape, so now I am ready for your basic Red Dawn scenario.
Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Unfortunately, some quality (More than $37.20 at performance) bike shorts actually do make a world of difference.
But really though, keep on pounding for a few weeks and you will be used to it and have buns of steel.
