I am new to road biking, I just bought a used Trek 1000, 2000 year.
I got measured at the bike shop, so I made sure I found and bought the right size bike.
I have only ridden the bike 2 times now, and both times after about 4 minutes of riding my left foot starts to fall asleep, and after about 30 minutes its totally numb, then the other foot follows suit after that, I am also having similar problems with my hands, but on a much lesser scale, they take longer and dont go asleep like my feet.
I am trying to figure out what can be causing this, I have the seat where it needs to be, and my shoes fit good, I dont know if the stem and bars are to small far away close?
I am thinking about seeing how much the LBS would charge me to properly fit my bike, but I dont have much money right now after getting the bike and shoes, etc., so I need to try to figure it out first before going to the shop.
Any help would be awesome, I am only riding like 15-20 miles rides right now, and I cant go any farther because of my feet and hands.
Again any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
