Back Pain - Seat to high/low ?

[Brains]

Having got back onto the bike after the winter lay off I'm now suffering lower back pain

What is the solution ?
Is my seat hight wrong ?
In which case up or down ?

Brains, was the set up the same beforehand and had no issue?

Where is the pain and what type of pain?
Could be many factors - hard to tell at this point

If so then you is just unfit (assuming all else is well). Do some stretches and gentle rides to break yourself in gradually.

But as ttcycle says - we need more info really

Seat height has not been altered in 5+ years

I had back pain end of last year, it seemed to go away after a bit, maybe it's because I stopped cycling.

Due to catching Swine Flu last October It's means I've not really been on the bike for the best part of six months.

Maybe I've started to shrink ?
Or I'm not as fit as I used to be
