>>1117780>You should ride a bicycle leaning forward with your back arched, so that it can flex. If you sit upright with your spine straight, it cannot flex and your vertebrae will jam together over bumps causing back pain.Absolute nonsense. Typical Anglo-American go-sport or go-nothing attitude to cycling. Fact is for the majority of people sport bicycles are not the way to go.
>>1117761You need to get an upright bicycle with a large, soft, padded seat with springs. If you want to go speed and even more comfort, but less utility, buy a recumbent. If you want to do racing in groups, you buy a roadbike. But that's racing, so it's uncomfortable, and life is not a race, and racing isn't meant to be done 5 days a week. In fact even spending 3 to 4 hours a week on a small, perched saddle hinging forward will greatly increase your chance on erection disfunction disorder, because the more you lean forward, the more weight rests on your perineum full of important nerves, instead of your buttocks.
