Back Pain

Do any of you ever get lower back pain after riding for awhile? :confused:

Yes, I do on occasion, especially if I am fighting a headwind for a long time or doing a lot of climbing. It always goes away right after I get off the bike. I used to get it much more often when I rode a Terry bike with too short a stem. I have many fewer problems now that I ride bikes where my position on the bike is a bit more stretched out. So, you could have a bit of a bike fit problem. Have you had a bike fitting done?

Actually no - that would probably help. I have done a lot of cycling lately, lots of hills and have noticed my sciatica (sp???) has been acting up.

also stretch at breaks (clasping your hands behind your back, low cobra, sorts of stretches)
