Anyone else had this from riding sports bikes?

I must be doing something wrong... maybe constantly working lower back to relieve pressure on wrists? I don't know. Should you have all the weight on the wrists??

Don't say get another bike- because there is no way i will change bike... i love these NC30's. Not going to let a bit of discomfort see the end to a bike.

There seems to be some connection between the pain in you lower back and the inability to tilt your head forward to look down. You need to see your doc first and then a spine specialist. Your body via pain is telling you something is not right.

I had similar issues, took part in Imtiaz's study, he taught me several exercises, and it's made a hell of a difference. Drop him a message. Awesome guy.
I'd tried Osteopaths and Chiropractors, and neither helped at all, both seemed like glorified witch doctors. Popped my back, and clicked a bit. felt good for a day, then back to normal. at $70 a visit, it's an expensive habit.

See a Chiropractor. G.Ps and Physiotherapists are all quacks!

also buy a kidney-lower back support belt..it may help as well..or a corset...as you may have a soft trunk problem

tl;dr

having owned an NC30 for two years and now an nc35, all i can say is i just sit on the thing and ride it. don't really think of how i'm hlding myself up but i know it's not with my back/gut so i assume it to be arms/wrists/legs

see a doctor (it's free) and try flipping you matress. this last few days i've been waking up with really sore muscles in the lower back - slept on other side of bed and it's fine. apparently they sag after a while so by flipping them you aren't sleeping on the saggy bit anymore you get proper support

second this one... Kidney belt is well worth it.

I know you said changing the bike ain't an option... but it worked for me. Have a look at an adventure bike, upright position and lots of suspension travel to soak up the bumps.

A 20 year old should not have a sore back unless you've had some sort of injury. Go see a Physio, it's not the bike.

**Mr Merde** · 10th November 2008, 14:32

Go see someone.

I suffered with a sore back for 10 years, when they finally realised I wasnt faking it was too late.

3 prolapsed disks.

In severe danger of loosing all feeling to my left leg as well as bladder and bowel control.

Emergency operation followed by a very long time recuperating.

GO AND SEE A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL NOW !!!!!
