Lower back

3. (A)Are these symptoms experienced only during bike riding or (B)are they carried onto/from your other daily activities?
(you can answer as "A" or "B" to represent yes to the part you agree with )
A
4. During what other daily activities do you experience the same pain?
( Leave blank if answer is "A" for question 4)

5. Do you feel a body part fatigued particularly only after long driving sessions and if so what part?
Lower half & eyes

6. Do you feel the need of adjust-ability features in your bike? Do you believe if such features were available you could do away with the pain?
Yes.
7. What adjust-ability features would you like in your bike to be installed?
( Leave blank if answer is NO for question 7)
Shock absorber "adjustability" with a twist of a knob/switch, etc.

8. What would represent your sitting posture on the bike a.) inward curved spine - a shape similar to when standing
b.) straight back - neutral position (of sitting)

(you can answer in abc's)
C, used to be B in my college days.

(please mention your bike also here)
(you can answer as "A" or "B" to represent yes to the part you agree with )

B. Overdoing riding gears in city traffic can be very irritating and cagey.

13. Whom do you credit your cause of fatigue (if any) to - the bike design or yourself?
Myself. Lack of physical fitness. Yeah, my old bike can do with better suspension I guess, but then handling...
