Bicycle Seat

posted Monday, 23 October 2006

I need to remember to keep an eye on the height of my bike seat.  Over the course of the last few months it's settled quite a bit, with the result that I wasn't getting as much power out of pedaling because I couldn't straighten my legs all the way.  This is because my mom bought me a petite bike without taking into account that I have legs like a person who's several inches taller, so I have to have the seat quite far up.  Of course, a bike for a normal person might be sufficiently taller that I'd have a hard time even with the seat down further, so it's likely a wash.

Also I am reminded that I love my alpaca gloves.  My hands weren't warm when I got in this morning, but they weren't cold either.
