I started commuting on a mountain bike in 2009 and soon added recreational rides both off- and on-road. I switched to a road bike in 2012, some time after I realized that I love climbing mountain roads.

comment How to store a bike outside and still avoid rapid decay?
Depending on the budget (at least $400 to $500), a bike shed seems like a great option. If you have a lower budget and redneck tendencies, you could alternatively try to find a run-down van for a few hundred dollars on Craigslist. :)

@wdypdx22, it's really more about why the soreness doesn't affect experienced cyclists who have adapted (over the course of many months or years).

@wdypdx22, I made a really quick edit, but there's probably something better. I also like yours with the "for a while" removed.

In retrospect, I suppose the question could have more carefully clarified that I was asking about a deep soreness that seems to be felt in the muscles. The pain you're describing is more of a skin soreness, right? In any case, the fact that shaving reduced soreness for you is a very interesting point.

I was indeed talking more about the structural soreness. Saddle sores seem to be more commonly discussed, while structural soreness seems to be ignored because it affects new riders much more than experienced cyclists.
