Proper fit of helmet is important, along with bike fit. However, Were taking about a 15 year old, It just may be that she has not rode enough to get her neck muscles in shape. All new riders go though some pain until their cycling muscles are in better shape. Just my 2 cents after a snowy OBC Tuesday Night Tour.
