In the blue corner, the Bruiser! 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
After a week of riding everyday and wrestling this bike, I think every muscle in my back is SORE. I think The Bruiser is a good name for this thang!!

If you have to wrestle it you're not riding it right. Roadies handle pretty easy.

Nawww.... Air pressure is right on the money. Just walking it in and out of the garage, and I think my seat/backrest does a number on my back. That's all.

If you haven't been riding for quite a while, there are muscles in your back and abdomen that don't typically get the workout riding gives to them.

Keep riding and in a few weeks, you wont notice it anymore.

Just my .02

ratl is probably right. I ride mine everyday to work about 65miles roundtrip and it's a piece of cake.
I do notice if you are pushing it, it IS more work. I try to start mine and ride it
I just ordered an Ultimate seat to help my back / butt so I hope that will help me there.

I'm sure you will get used to it.

Yep. I'm definitely doing more to RIDE it, than trying to push it around... (After all, isn't that the point?)
