Make sure your saddle is the correct height for you or you will suffer unneccesarilly.

First adjust the saddle so its level from front to back then adjust the saddle height with the seat post.

A rough guide is sat squarely on the saddle if you put the heel of your foot on the pedal your leg should be straight when the pedal is at its lowest.
