Lower back pain while cycling

Lower back pain on the bike almost always has a cause that can be measured.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Nagging or stabbing pain in the lower back during or after cycling
  • Stiffness when dismounting that only eases after hours
  • Pain that increases on longer rides or at higher intensity
  • The feeling of sitting crookedly or twisted on the bike

The biomechanical causes

Wat er meestal achter zit

An elevated temperature in the lower back often points to a compensation mechanism or an incorrect saddle setting

Leg length difference or pelvic misalignment causing the spine to compensate with every pedal stroke

A position that is too long or too low for your mobility at that moment

Insufficient core stability for the chosen position
