  1. Mountain biking without cycling shorts:saddle soreness guaranteed.
  2. Going too fast. Start slow and build up your pace.
  3. Take a slope in the heaviest gear. Switch back or up in time.
  4. Too much leaning forward when making a descent. During a descent, stand slightly on your pedals, straighten your arms and lean back with your weight.
