same here, my sole and ankle always hurts, i seek tips from running experts who advised that my strides are too big, and recommended a shorter stride higher cadence running technique, but jin slow

bicycle can set high gearing and cycle 40rpm lolx

40rpm? thats kinda of low... higher gear also no good for the knee

 

[tremor]

I have a friend, his knee was injured from riding, used cleats and then still hurt when he didnt use them,tried everything from lowering seat to changing he quit cycling sold off everything now do running

Got another way, change to oval chainring, lots of review online saying that it helps them.

 

[runroader]

anyone?

seems expensive for a 400 sgd bike

anyone?

Its heavy and single gear. Not really good for cycling long distances.

But the ride should be comfortable.

Plus, it looks retro. Certainly won't look out of place at those retro hip places.

Definitely won't recommend what you are doing.

I will cycle at least 70-80 rpm cadence. Too slow cadence means you are pushing a high gear which can hurt your knees in the long run.

What's your expectations and usage for this bicycle?

Well, it can move when you pedal. Looks cool.

If I am going to cycle 50km at the western loop, there's no way I will use this.
