Hi Mustachians,
While biking home today something that's happened sporadically before happened once again - my right hip started hurting out of the blue, shortly into my ride. It's a fairly sharp pain too, not an ache. Now, I know that none of you are providing medical advice that should take precedence over my own good sense (and I won't sue anyone if my leg suddenly falls off or something because of anything you tell me), but I'm wondering if there's an easy fix?
The rundown on my bike: not exactly a beach cruiser, but similar in the seat position and how one sits in it, ie basically upright. I think I have the height adjusted correctly since my knees are at a gentle bend when the pedals are all the way down (if I drop my heels though I could lock my knees).
I'm only 24 and healthy by all standards - good BMI (which I know can affect joints), active, etc, and my four mile round trip to work seems like it shouldn't be a problem. Admittedly, I'm not a great biking enthusiast otherwise, so if there are other resources I should be looking towards, I'm all ears.
Have any of you dealt with something like this? Is there some adjustment in position that might make a difference?
