Except for short distance bicycle commuting, I've been off the bicycle since 2003, due to a chronic back injury. Things got much worse earlier this year. Traditional treatments did nothing. However, I recently discovered some stretchs (on Youtube of all places) that are giving better results than all the prescribed physiotherapist stretchs, massage, chiropratic adjustments, etc. I'm hoping to be back on the bicycle for longer than 15 minute stints, in the spring (fingers crossed).
