Hi Rosiewell,

I just learned a technique from my Berninia dealer...(I have been struggling too, trying to match my foot power with my hand speed.)

Well, he told me to "put the pedal to the metal...yes, scary at first, but in less than 20 minutes, I was more comfortable. (Did not ever think about hand and foot coordination...it just worked.)

Needless to say, even my posture to say nothing of the reduced back strain is soooooo much better.

Happy Threads to You...
