Sports Medicine: Bicycling With Back Pain
Biking is a popular form of aerobic exercise and is often a favored form of exercise by people with low back pain conditions. Biking may be a good exercise option for many reasons: Biking is less jarring to the spine than many other forms of aerobic exercise, such as jogging or aerobics class. Stationary bicycling is particularly gentle on the spine, and the variety of spinning classes now available can provide a vigorous aerobic workout with minimal stress to the lower back.
