Re: Stiff neck on tri bike
No, you need to see where you are going and if your head is down, your helment catches air in the back.
A lot of people have this problem, try giving a slight twist of your head so one eye is higher, sometimes that helps, sort of pirate style.
It takes strength to hold up your head, it weighs a lot. In time you will develop the muscles.
BUT--if you get radiating pain or pain after cycling that doesn't subside, perhaps you have a pinched vertabrae, it's common for cyclist to get this after riding for a long time, crashing seems to aggravate it also.
