But it's a perennial issue. If I ride the bike more often I guess my neck strengthens up a bit and it's manageable. But any time I exceed what I'm used to it bothers my neck.

That's been my rather simplistic approach. Occasionally sitting up to relieve any aches helps too. Does it only happen while you're riding, or does the pain carry on for some time after?

Do the guys with the slammed stems not get this issue?

The pros, or those with the massive mamil headtubes?*

*yes, i have seen my own bikes

It lingers a little while after I ride too. Probably a bit of muscle strain/DOMS?

The pros, or those with the massive mamil headtubes?

If the only options are "pro" and "MAMIL" then this forum's about to have an existential crisis

@Tijmen thanks for the recommendation, sounds like a sensible thing to start doing. I'm about as flexible as a girder so a good idea regardless of my neck problems
