Question: Pain after using exercise bike?

I feel pain in the groin area after using the exercise bike. Any idea as to how to alleviate this... Or is this something that all bike riders deal with >

Start easy to warm your muscles and drink lots at least 15minutes before riding

Make sure you have the saddle adjusted at the correct height and angle. Warm up slowly and pedal at a high cadence with just enough resistance to get your breathing to the point where you can still talk but not sing. If you just started take shorter sessions until you get use to the saddle. bicycletutor.com/ adjust-seat/

Pain is never good. You maybe sitting incorrectly.Look at your leg at the 6 o'clock down-stroke position. Your knee should only be slightly bent. Now look at the saddle and see if it's slanted up or down.I keep mine level.Try sitting farther up so there's less stress in that area.
