Back injuries will haunt many cyclists, which isn’t really surprising given how they’re hunched over their bikes for long periods of time. Posture is everything and it’s important to get this right and not put strain on the lower back.
Neck pain is another common cycling complaint, and is usually the result of riding a bike that is too long or having handlebars that are too low.
Remember that it is important to fit the bike to the rider not the other way around. As we age, we are less flexible so you will be more comfortable in a more upright position. Consider a professional bike fit to improve your comfort and performance.
