It's a good idea to go to a bike store or even a physiotherapist who can do a professional bike fitting for you. If your bike position is not setup properly, it can cause injury and strain, especially to the upper neck muscles and the thoracic spine.

During the bike fitting, your bike fitter can ensure the handlebars and saddle are in the right position.
