https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/question-about-bikes/m-p/67671#M39068 <P>As I was reading another post, it brought to mind something that puzzles me. When I was a kid, I rode my bike all over the neighborhood, every day, all day. I was a tall, scrawny kid - not much rear.</P> <P>Now, I have a bike, and at age 66 riding it for more than 15 min. really hurts my rear - to the point that I just can't do it any longer. Actually, it sits in my foyer because the condo board "won't allow" bike racks downstairs, and I am unable to take it up and down the steps due to a knee problem.</P> <P>Why is this? I have way more "padding" now than I ever did as a kid .... you'd think it would be even more comfortable - sort of like a cushion.</P> <P>abby</P> Sat, 09 Apr 2011 18:01:20 GMT abbycat 2011-04-09T18:01:20Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/question-about-bikes/m-p/67671#M39068 <P>As I was reading another post, it brought to mind something that puzzles me.
