Cycling Injuries

Cycling injuries are either overuse injuries which develop gradually over time because of repeated movement patterns or pressures, or acute, traumatic injuries due to a fall! These are extremely variable and so not really covered here.

The most common cycling injuries tend to be knee pain such as IT band syndrome, lower back pain from being hunched over, or wrist injuries from pressure on the handlebars!

We also have an article on the 'training and advice' tab covering injury prevention in cycling.
