Iâve mentioned in earlier posts how I wish to pedal standing up on an upright bike. That is difficult aerobically, and feels a little bit like working which is nice for a former runner. However these days I havenât been capable of do it a lot as a result of my SI joint complains. This isn’t too dangerous by itself however might be an early signal of sciatica flaring up which I positively need to keep away from. Iâve talked about having issues with this previously . However I remembered that my SI joint belt may help with this so Iâve been attempting it on my rides not too long ago. Little by little I add in additional standing, and right this moment I used to be capable of get away with fairly a little bit of it with out points. I did it over at Anderson Lake County Park and the dust paths close to the Coyote Creek path. I had forgotten how this enables me additionally to deal with rougher terrain as a result of your legs soak up a number of the vibration when standing.

I’ve additionally been avoiding longer rides on my upright bike, however with the SI joint belt on, I did advantageous on a three-hour lengthy group journey final Tuesday. I can be good to journey the upright extra and add extra selection in my coaching.
