Subject: RE: Lower back soreness during bike I get the back soreness. In addition to building core strength, you more than likely have tight hamstrings and hips. Doing a lot of stretching in the form of yoga and always being conscientious of stretching after a bike workout and during the day helped me. I know that I do have tight hammys and poor lower back core strength. I can ride my trainer on a level surface and big gears til my legs break without any back pain, but as soon as I am out on the road on the rolling hills here, my back starts complaining. I have to get thru my long rides changing positions a lot! Lastly, the more obvious fix may be just your bike. Ensure you have the correct saddle height and tilt. Good luck! It sucks when your legs tell you to GO, but your back says NO! |
