1 sore shoulder

Post by Rossco8854 »

Has anyone had the issue of a sore shoulder? When I first started this cycling malarkey ithe happened and then I got fitted for my bike and it stopped, but the past few rides it's been setting in again. It's only on my right shoulder (right handed). I don't know if I'm maybe holding tighter on that side or perhaps need set up again due to muscles/Limbs stretching and causing the issue?

Neck or back problem, spine out of aline? Might be worth getting it checked out; GP / physio / chiropractor.

Is your handlebar a lot lower than your saddle? You could try a more upright position, if so, to take less weight on your arms?
I speak as one who tore my shoulder ligament while swimming (!!) and have managed to carry on riding.
