After battling with neck pain for a while, have had both an osteo and physio recommend sacking drop bars in favour of a cruiser.
I don't really want a single speed bike with roller brakes on our hills! But I wanted to ask the combined wisdom of forum what they thought was the best way of getting a straighter neck.
Thoughts I've had...
- recumbent
- Pashley style
- beach cruiser correctly appointed
- MTB with really high riser BMX bars
- path racer style you see from 1920s wtvr
I fear looking an idiot on many of these options will make me avoid riding them. I'm also trying to work out what aspects make some of these work better... Top tube length, seat tube angle, mere height of bars etc etc
All thoughts welcome.
