In short. When your knees or back hurt in the saddle, you stop first, then look at the bike set-up and the way you pedal. On Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com), you ask for a cycling coach in Agadir, receive proposals, and pay after the service. A coach is not a doctor.
Stop first, then work out what to say
Pain on a bike is not something to push through. Get off, rest, and let a few days pass before you try again. If the discomfort comes back, lasts, or gets worse, a doctor or a physiotherapist is the right person to see, not a coach. Adom puts people in touch and does not stand in for that kind of follow-up.
Once you are comfortable again, the questions become practical: how is the bike set up, and how are you sitting on it? That is where cycling coaching can be useful. The coach watches you ride, adjusts the saddle or handlebars with you, and suggests more gradual sessions. There is no diagnosis, and no health result is promised.
An imagined rider: Amine
Here is an invented case. Amine lives in a flat in Agadir and has been riding a road bike on and off. After a long break he goes out for a longer spell than usual, and the back of his knee and the lower back protest. He assumes he is simply out of shape and keeps going. The discomfort is still there the next morning.
What he does next is modest. He stops riding at the first sign of discomfort, rests, and writes down where it pulls and at what point of the effort, without trying to interpret it. If it lingers, he sees a doctor before riding again. If not, he restarts with a short, gentle outing.
Only then does a coach make sense. Amine passes on his notes, the coach looks at his position on the bike he really uses, and together they plan a slow return without forcing it.
Words you will hear
Think of the saddle first: its angle, its height and its distance from the handlebars are what people call the set-up. The handlebars change how the upper body is held under effort. Cadence is how fast the legs turn, quicker or slower depending on the difficulty chosen. Position is the whole body on the bike, back to feet. A warm-up is the first minutes at an easy pace before the effort goes up. And an indoor exercise bike is the fixed machine used at home, which also has a saddle and handlebars to adjust.
What to put in your request
Say which bike you ride, indoor or outdoor, and whether your outings are short or long. Mention where the discomfort shows up (knee, lower back, neck) and when, without naming it as a condition. Add whether you have already seen someone and what they advised.
If the coach comes to your home, the place matters too. Agadir was rebuilt further south under earthquake-resistant rules, so the housing is recent; one sentence will do, with the floor, the room where the bike stands and the free space around it. You can name your neighbourhood too: Founty, Talborjt, Hay Mohammadi or Charaf.

Frequently asked questions
Should I keep pedalling if it hurts?
No, stop. If the pain stays, ask a doctor before you start again.
Can a coach treat my knee or back?
No. A coach adapts the session and looks at your set-up, but does not treat anyone or give a diagnosis.
Does the coach bring a bike?
Say in the request what you have: your own bike, an indoor machine, or nothing. The professional will tell you what suits them.
Can I train at home in Agadir?
Yes, if there is room for the machine or a place to keep the bike. Describe the room in your request.
When do I pay?
After the service, on the basis of a free, personalised quote on AdomApp.
