My wife gave birth to out wonderful daughter 6 weeks ago, and is now keen to get back in the saddle (hee hee!). She went out this morning and did 7 miles along the cycletrack by the river and bearing in mind that was the first bit of excercise for 9 months or so, it went pretty well.
She did however have a few aches and pains from her cocyx (sp?). Just wondering if there were nay ladies out there who could offer her any advice re easing her way back into it.
BTW - she's convinced a new Trek 6300WSD would help, but I'm not so sure!
big numb saddle =)
big saddle does not equal big comfort!
The pelvic region will hurt for a while after having it displaced by a watermelon sized object coming through a gap the size of a lemon! Imagine passing a lightbulb instead of a wee......
I think a Trek Fuel EX8 WSD is called for personally
If her bike worked for her before squeezing puppies than it'll work again now.
She hasn't been on it for ages so gently ease her back into it.
Job done.
hi - it is entirely personal as to when she gets her mojo back. I was back riding at the same level within 3 months BUT i felt different mentally as i instinctually didn't want to put myself in danger anymore , i.e by doing daredevil stuff that previously i just went for. Fitness wise, i am better than ever 18months down the line so it's all good. My back/posture was sore/uncomfy for around 5 months after popping my sprog:-)
how many different words are they for child/children?
try an sq-lad fitted saddle.
they are designed to not aggravate the coccyx area.
