It's not as bad if one gets a proper bike fit, and gradually increase mileage.

  This is something that really bugs me: how many people I see on badly fit bikes, starting with inappropriate frame sizes but also the most painful postures and handle bars that are either too narrow or too wide for the individual, saddles set too far back or forth, cranks that are too long or short etc. This is especially weird for high end bikes: if the place you are buying your too-expensive bike from ensure that they know how to fit the bike to your body, it will make all the difference once you start riding longer trips.
