In most cases, it’s due to having a bike that is too large for your body or when you incorrectly adjust the seat height, handlebars, or stem. Overextension can also occur due to poor flexibility, core strength, or poor cycling technique.
Furthermore, with such a position, any movement may cause outer hip pain while cycling. The best way to fix this is to get a properly fitting bike. Alternatively, adjust the bike by bringing your handlebars closer or adjusting them upward to avoid overextension.
You can also maintain good posture while cycling, engage your core muscles, and relax your shoulders. Stretching and strengthening exercises can also help improve flexibility and core strength, reducing the risk of overextension injuries.
