Yesterday I said that the pain in my shoulder was starting to go away. I've been using my gym on the patio about once or twice a day, not for very long, I do 1 rear shoulder exercise for about 20 reps then quit. I don't know if it's helping but my pain is subsiding. It still hurts a little bit but I'm sure over time it will be gone.
I rode my bike to the store today and I was still having pain though. I'm pushing on the handlebars too much even though I'm sitting straight up so that could be problematic. I wouldn't recommend going out on my rides until the pain is completely gone because I don't want to aggravate it and make it come back full force.
I have a feeling my handlebars are too long and that I'm going to have to cut them about the length of the grips then just replace the grips with new ones. Or maybe I can get the ones that are on there wet so I can save them. I put them on with hairspray so they are pretty much stuck to the bar.
I might also have to just go to Target and buy another new seat, when I bought the gel seat cover for my seat I saw that they had a beach cruiser seat so maybe I will buy that to see if that will help. It was cheap so it's not like I'm spending another $70 on a seat. It would be a damn shame to lose the $70 from the "ergo" seat by not using it anymore. Oh well, lesson learned.
Oh I just wanted to add one more thing. My last bike ride was 7/20/09 and today is 8/19/09 so tomorrow will be exactly 1 month that I haven't ridden so I need to get back on the bike before ALL the weight comes back.
