the bottom two discs in my spine are bulging and one is torn, so i am more sensitive to back pain than an average person. this bike is a lot more upright than i assumed a road bike would be and the bent over nature of road bikes helps me prevent pain better than a more upright style like most hybrids.

anyway, that's my 2 cents.
