I just finished an eight mile ride on my coker, and I realized where my
minor back pain has been coming from. After longer rides, my lower back
begins to hurt, and I DO have my seat at the correct height. The only
thing that I can think of that may be making my back ache is my posture
while riding. I slouch a little bit when I ride, but if I sit tall in the
saddle, I have a harder time keeping my balance. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. -Dave

The balance will come, Dave, but backaches can be forever. Do yourself a
favor and try the sitting tall method. I hope it works.

Re: Longer Distance Back Pain

Hi Dave, I don’t really have any suggestions for you but when I do
distance on my Coker I sit up very straight and when I ride is probably
the only time in my life when I don’t slouch. Riding while sitting up
straight will get easier with practice and it’ll probably help your back
pains. I guess I did have a suggestion. Do you stretch before you ride?
That might help also. Later.
