bicycle question



Recommended Posts

When I'm pedaling,I notice my feet start tilting to the side of my foot instead of the sole of my feet. Is my seat up too high or is something else wrong?

Sound like yes seat up too high- or wrong size of bike- do you cycle road or mountain?

Also are you using clip less pedals- or do you use a shoe with clips?

I am using an adult-sized tricycle. It is on the road, as smooth as I can get it.

I'm assuming since I have no idea what that means, they are clipless, both shoes and pedals.

Oh - I see :-)

I don't have any experience in adult trike riding. I wish I could help :-)

These are what pedals look like on a road bike- and then there is a clip on the cycling shoe that attaches itself to the pedal. These are clips. :-)

The last one is a clip-less you just slip your foot in- and it helps to hold your foot steady and secure in the cage (pedal) I started as a beginner with the last ones.

I would say that your distance from the pedal is not correct with your shoe- and that's the reason for the side pushing.

Thanks - I'll try lowering the seat... Hopefully that makes it less exhausting, too.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
