huh? I don't see what "ur" point is. Are you saying he should lower his seat or handlebar or both? Seat parallel to handlebar? You mean level, right? Parallel might be a touch uncomfortable as they are designed to be perpendicular.

To the original question - it can be tough. I get the same thing when I'm off the bike because my bars are pretty low in relation to the seat. But having them up high makes me uncomfortable while I'm on the bike. Perhaps just have your back adjusted. See your local chiropractor.
