MRI Report on my spine

[vickster]

Reading on here - I don't actually do that many miles ! - I get up to about 100 a week in the summer months. Club training rides are 33 miles on Sat - and club runs 60 sun (I tend to do one or other!) - Right now 25 miles once a week and I would be happy with that.

Its the delayed pain - which makes it difficult - If I got on the bike and it hurt then of course I would stop - but the onset seems to be later - so never sure if it is the biking.

I would reluctantly quit cycling - but would really hate the resulting weight gain ! - couldn't run - and swimming seems to aggravate my back and neck

What bike do you ride? Have you tried something upright? Maybe a riser stem if flipping doesn’t help.
I get pains swimming too but my technique (if you can call it that) is atrocious!

do you heat your back and then stretch after cycling?

Road bikes - but commute on an old MTB - might go out on that for 30 minutes.

Might just buy a motorbike.

That could at least kill you quickly
