Is it riding into a head-wind on the last stretch of your ride?

That's mine. I hear Danny Glover from ~~Die Hard~~ Lethal Weapon in my head every time...

EDIT: Correct movie referenced

Oof. Maybe you need a bike fitting?

But also, I feel you. I'm 58 and determined to ride as long as I can, but not sure what that will mean 10 years from now.

B-but I've been riding this one for 20 years, changing it would be like learning to ride again!

But for real, you may be right. Is it not common to have this pain?

As for you in 10 years: I know a retired guy who switched to an ebike when he wasn't strong enough for his daily ride. That's one option.
