But they say they take Time to get into the System. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have you seen a spine doc?
I learned last June (2015) that I have spinal stenosis. My spine doc (who is a serious cyclist) said my road bikes are great for stretching out my lower spine to relieve the pressure on my spinal cord. Leaning and stretching is the trick. I could never ride a hybrid or comfort bike (sitting upright). It would kill my spine.
