I loved riding bikes and was extremely good at it. but then at age 12 I stopped riding completely. Now at age 17 I went and got a bike. It is a mens 26 mountain bike. I do happen to be a female but the bike I had before was mens and i liked it, so I got a mens bike(plus there was only one female bike and it sucked). Anyways, Ive only had this bike for two days and oh my god!!!!! My ass hurts! I want to cry because of the pain!! it hurts while I ride the bike to a point I start cursing and cringing in pain. (it hurts the bones on the bottom of the ass) Not only that but when I ride it it is hard for me to stop it. The brakes are amazing but I want to use my feet as well. Also when I stop the bike it hurts my groin a lot, my feet just barely make it to the ground, is that normal? Because before when i was younger my feet reached completely to the floor and I could stop the bike and stand, with both feet on the floor and still remain seated at the same time. Now I have to tilt and stand on one leg, and getting back on the bike is extremely hard. My arms are fully extended to reach the handles, is that a wrong position? Should I just wait and see if it gets any better? Maybe i used to ride it wrong before so thats why i think the bike is bad? Or should i just change the seat? I think I ,might return it. Please help!!
