    Maybe a little bit of both? If your bike isn't adjusted right, you may have no choice but to hunch over. Also, working on core muscle strength can help, so that you aren't just propping your entire upper half up on your arms.

    I agree w/ Dianyla, could be a little of both. I tend to hunch myself and have been working really hard to relax my shoulders. When I hunch them, my neck hurts and gets tired and sore.

    You may want to have someone look at the way your bike is adjusted as well just to make sure!
