Sore trapezius muscle (I think)

If I was getting pain in that area, the first thing I would do is take a tennis ball or lacrosse ball and massage that area using the ball against a wall. It’s hard to say if it’s your bike fit or something else that is causing your pain, or probably even a combination of factors, but massaging it yourself is a whole lot cheaper than a bike fit, and is the first thing I would try. I sometimes get some knee pain while cycling, and I’ve had success making it better by finding the muscles around my knee that are tight and massaging them.
