[MENTION=227213]wphamilton[/MENTION] The weird thing is that I don't really notice it while riding or walking, it's only really noticeable when I do a squat i.e. standing up and sitting down. I had an experience similar to yours with my back last summer (the perils of being tall...) but I'd really hate to go back to the bus and add 25 minutes back to my commute.
