Hi All-
I've been riding mountain bikes for almost 20 years (GT, Giant, etc) and have always felt
really safe & secure on them (cannot even ride a bike now without clipless pedals). The way my hands are able to grip the handlebar all the way around, etc.
So just last week I bought my first road bike (with clipless pedals of course)- which I absolutely love. I've not been able to ride it but 3 times in the past week due to really bad weather out here, but each time that I have rode it I must admit I feel a bit insecure on it. I'm sure this is pretty natural, but my question is how long will it take before I have the same feeling of stability/control over a road bike as I would with my Giant? I'm sure I just need to get on it more which I fully intend on, but was just curious if all of you "took to it" immediately, or if there was a bit or ramp up time.
Thanks all!
