Why am I slow on flat surfaces? Before I started riding, I was running 50 miles a week (10 miles a day). But my knee began to get sore, so I jumped on a bike and just rode until it felt like a similar workout. I fell in love with the bike and never looked back. But I have never given any thought to targeting a workout. Thank you for the insight. |

Why am I slow on flat surfaces? Although I'm sure I have other issues as well, I am going to take my bike in an have my wheel bearings checked. I must admit I'm kind of hoping the're bad. |

Why am I slow on flat surfaces? I've also observed I have a tendency to settle into different riding positions on hills and flats. On hills I found myself sliding forward on the seat about and inch and bring my elbows down closer to my hips. Can these little adjustments make that much of a difference? |

Why am I slow on flat surfaces? The extent of my training method has been to just ride as fast as I can all the time. Only 20 miles or so is flat. My last two rides I paid some attention to what muscles I use uphills and on flats. Up hills, I feel the burn in my quadriceps. But on flats, the burn is in the back of my leg close to and part of the lower part of my butt (and I feel very weak). |

Why am I slow on flat surfaces? After reading these posts I've gone out on a couple of rides,and paid some attention to the way I ride (for the 1st time ever). I'm thinking more than 2 years of bad habits, is probably the beginning of my problem. I ride virtually the same 63 mile route 5 times a week every time (I have a few variations). |
