These handlebars that are too high will put excessive pressure on your seat, while handlebars that are too low may result in lower back soreness and arm and shoulder fatigue. That will take several cycling sessions and some additional adjustments to find your perfect position. Discomfort is the biggest reasons people stop cycling. Right positioning on a bicycle will provide for comfortable and enjoyable exercise.
Always spend time test-riding stationary bicycle models before you buy. Try to adjust, noise, and ease of operation should be considered in the store, not in your living room. Correct Proper position is imperative.
