Back pain

Hi all

I've been having a bit of lower back pain when riding recently - particularly on longer rides with a bit of climbing. Just thought I'd see if anyone has any tips on things I should be checking for or if anyone has had a similar problem. Wondered if I need to my riding position/geometry or if I just need to build up some more strength in my back!

Cheers
Steve

First of all, my apologies if this is in the wrong area.
Just wondering if anyone else is competing/avinago at the subject above? It'd be great to say g'day.

Penny farthing lunatic

Just as I'm riding up toward Bike addiction, thinking about the new Giant trance 27.5", I see a Penny Farthing with a guy in lycra bent over going hell for leather south the manly. What does this guy do at traffic lights ???

Bikes outsell cars for 10th year running

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

From my BikeSA membership newsletter:

Bike Sales have outstripped car sales for the tenth year in a row....

Over 1.4 million bikes were imported into Australia in the last financial year. Adult bikes in particular are seeing significant growth. In a campaign week when $200m federal money is promised to the car industry, comparatively little is being invested in cycling infrastructure.

Is it time for bikes to get more money?

Injuries

A conversation between my daughter and I whilst riding to school this morning;

"Ugh, dad my back's sore!"
"Why?"
"Well yesterday I was standing on that bar between the seat and the handlebars and my brakes locked up and I came down and the seat hit me in the back" ;*(
"Wow! I've tumbled down mountainsides, shoulder-barged trees, flipped over handlebars and smacked my head into low branches but I've NEVER hurt myself like THAT before!"
"hmmm, it's a new one."
