Anybody experience this? Anybody have any pointers on treatment or prevention?
Many thanks and sorry for the off topic post

I’ve dealt with that from running in the past and the treatment involved a foam roller and a lot of pain! I’m sure there are videos, but you basically roll along your hip and loosen it up. It’s painful, to say the least!
One of the enjoyable things about biking is that I find it’s much easier on the body in general. I haven’t run into the IT band issues, nor most of the issues I had from running because there’s no continual impact.
