Shoulder Pains

Gothmeister

I am 58 and, as Laughing Lennie Cohen would say, am starting to "ache in places where I used to play" and accept that, BUT since taking up regular cycling, I have started to suffer pain in both my shoulder joints/ligaments/muscles. The right hand side is worse, but the left hurts as well. The pain is mainly on the top of the joints and is worse when I lift my arms up (yes, I know, don't do it then).

My question is....is this caused by my doing something wrong....is the bike set up wrong...or is it just age again!!!

Maybe have your LBS check out your position, in case you are leaning too far.
