Can I Buy Folicure Shampoo

not hurt your knees!


When I go around the city is inevitable noticing cyclists and many times I have wanted to stop or stop (depending on who is going faster) to say caring your knees! For many cyclists use the seat so low that your knees hurt and probably just sore. One of the most common mistakes among novice cyclists (not much) is to think that just the technique with which the children learned to ride a bike.

Children usually begin to use a tricycle which forces them to bend their knees a lot. Later they start using the bike with training wheels (auxiliary) that give stability and, finally, learn to roll free but close enough to the ground so that the feet can slow down or avoid falling behind. That is, the seat height correspond to the height of the crotch, are on the seat and the feet on the ground at the same time.

This system is used to provide security for children (and, as they are "rubber", nothing hurts) is not suitable as an adult. The right thing is to have a seat at a height higher than the crotch been standing on the bike.

There is a formula to get the correct size and is as follows: standing will take the floor as your inseam in centimeters and multiply that number by .885, the result (also in inches) is the distance to be exist between the pedal axle and the seat.

Example:
82 cm X 885 = 72.5 cm

Among urban cyclists are repeated and, sometimes, sudden stops that lead many to use the seat correctly. If the seat to its proper height you think "very high" is perhaps not know start to pedal and brake correctly.

To "boot" you take the first clutching supporting your weight on the pedals and already in motion, put you on the seat.

To halt: use both brakes to stop the handlebars firmly supports your feet on the pedals and get up on them while braking, then a foot down like a step and then the other, stood on the box bike and not on the seat.

Another good tip is to keep your feet and knees parallel to the table, avoiding separately or together knees when pedaling.

Finally, if you're too scared to start shooting with the seat "so high", rises gradually to the correct height, your knees will thank you.
