Has anyone with a herniated lumbar disc tried this with a road bike? Did it help?

Yeah, I have had surgery on my lower back due to herniated disks and found this to be a wonderful addition to my bike and a big relief once i dialed it in. I mostly use it on my fat bike and I also bought a Selle Royal men's seat to go with it, and its like riding a Cadillac, no joke! Also, there is no noticeable loss of power from my perspective when peddling. I tend to be very aware of this and did not find any problem. Highly recommended, my wife also has one and she love it also. Hope this helps.

Nope, save your money and buy a good stationary bike. I wish I had. This thing just sits under one of my end tables because I spend more time moving it back into place than actually pedaling it.

I did put it in my road bike frame to see if it would fit. And it would have been way easier in that frame, I didn't check to see if my pedals would clear, but I don't see why they wouldn't.

I would like to answer your question, but I have since moved on to a stationary bike and the weight really has come off. I find the bike has been more effective for me and I am thankful I get more out of my exercise time with the bike.

No, I have a road bike as well, and this saddle works very well. I load one or both sides and notice no difference

I agree with SPC. While I don't have disc brakes on any of my bikes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are two "pincers" to the rear frame and there seems to be some limited top/bottom - forward/rear adjustment to the frame anchor points.

I have herniated discs in my lower back and this has helped me tremendously.

I have cervical, thoracic, and lumbar issues from a car accident and have yet to experience back pain after a workout using this bike.

I have only ridden a mountain bike with this. I read another review where they suggested they used it with a motor bike. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Me too, a spinal injury to L4 and L5 years ago and I find this VERY comfortable.I am also recouping from a stroke and find getting on and off this bike a bit of a challenge, but I can do it.This seems like a great bike after less than a week's use. I love it.

Hi Karen, I'm training for my first marathon. I have a slipped disc and IT band issues, and this is what best worked for me.I tried common stretching exercises and massages, nothing worked like this. So in my personal experience, after having it for almost a year, it's firm, it didn't change from the first use. Hope this answers your question.

I have two fairly high end mountain bike (Scott Spark 940 and Niner Air 9) and neither of these bikes are able to use the attachment. I haven't tried on my road bike but I am a little weary of hauling my kid on my carbon fiber road bike as I am not sure if the bike was designed for those type of forces.

I rode this bike for 55 minutes yesterday and was up all night with a backache. I usually ride an upright and have never had any back problems on the upright style.

I would think it would be an almost impossible feat to use this while lying down. I use a chair about the same height as a dining room chair when I pedal with this. It gives you the same feeling of a recumbent bike. I absolutely love this bike and ride it between 10 to 15 miles every day. I have firmed up muscles, developed more stamina and lost weight. Can't beat that!

Id reccomend it. I have a minor back problem and it doesnt bothr me with this seat. Its just not as soft as descibed but it is way better then the stock seats that bikes come with. Overall i like it and its pretty comfortable. It would be a good seat if you have a back problem in my opinion. Hope this helps.

I don't have the teeter inversion table, I have a cheapie one but it has really helped my neck. I have cervical dystonia, a bone spur, degenerate disc disease andosteoarthritis and it has helped me more than anything.
