I've not been cycling to work for over a month now due to the lockdown but my bum (around the "tail") has started to really hurt when I stand up.
It's groaningly painful and I'm pretty sure it's something to do with those muscles not being worked any more.
I had something similar with my glutes a few years ago. It lasted months and was excrutiatingly painful. After numerous visits to the doctor and more drugs than Jimi Hendrix, all to no avail, I changed my bike and it went away in a couple of weeks. This injury feels kind of similar.
However these days I use a hub-geared commuter bike, heavy as a tank but comfortable as a limo!
Has anyone else experienced this and whats the best way to get it to go away - ease back into cycling every day or start doing my usual 5 miles per day again?
