[QUOTE=DaveLeeNC;21963753. I am convinced that the issue is my back and that the forced straight back posture on a road bike is the reason that biking provides relief. The other day it got particularly bad, so I just got on my spinner bike (set up to match my road bikes) for 10 easy minutes. It helped.

I'm almost 75 and have been experiencing an issue that I think might be a hip issue. Not sure but it's so minimal that I'm not aware of it most of the time. My road bike has a 3" drop from saddle to bars so there's no straight back for me. In the past my chiropractor has said that the bent over position is good for my spine.
