Meh. Ride a bicycle for an hour, if you never do it, and your ass will hurt for days.
Ride a bicycle once a week for a little while... and it'll be perfectly comfortable no matter how long you sit on the seat. Your muscles will strengthen as necessary to compensate for the new load.
Or like take office chairs: Sit in one for a few hours, you might start to feel sore. But sit in one for 8 hours a day for like 3 years, and you'll end up with excellent posture and limber hamstrings from all the practice you've gotten.
Pretty sure that's how it works, anyway.
Our necks are really strong. Far stronger than, for example, our arms or even our shoulders. In cultures that hadn't invented the wheel, it was commonplace to carry heavy things with your neck. Your neck can carry loads similar to a wheel barrow, comfortably, all day long.
I'd be a lot more worried about eye health than your neck.
Balance bro...
If our necks can handle that, I think they can handle a headset.
That reminds me so much of this old gem.
