I have been riding a new bike for 3 or 4 weeks, mostly road stuff.
I seem to be getting pain and discomfort in my neck and across the shoulders, any ideas?
Bars lower than last one?
drop your shoulders. It was pointed out to me that I tense my shoulders a lot when riding a road bike, consciously relaxing my shoulder muscles really helped.
Your elbows are fantastic shock absorbers, try not to ride with locked out / very straight arms...
Stop looking up. That's what does it for me.
Unlike on a flat bar bike I have to remind myself to keep my head down and stare just at the road rather than the scenery.
Can also be attributed to stem length, bar height, saddle height and position fore and aft. Get a bike fit session at your LBS.
