Most cycling injuries are overuse, not impact — saddle sores, knee pain (typically iliotibial band or patellar), lower-back tightness, neck pain, and numb hands. The fastest path to recovery is fixing the bike fit first, then the training load. The classic prevention recipe: 80% of weekly volume in Zone 2, weekly stretching, and a strength session covering glutes/core/hamstrings. Below are our prevention, treatment, and recovery guides.
