Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Here are my other useful suggestions to you:
Avoid lifting weights, avoid bad roads, do not watch television or work on computer for long time.
Sit with a support on your neck.
Take break every half hour while at office. Try to do some stretches and joint movements
Continue neck exercises.
Exercises-
neck rotation, shoulder shrugging, slow and gradual movement of neck.
You can consult physiotherapist for help.
You can use soft cervical collar when needed
Do not ride bike on jerky roads, hold gym for some time and again you can start once pain relief is there.
This will not affect your married life, so do not worry.
Check your vit B12 level through blood test.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Can use cervical collar
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
You can use cervical soft collar while travelling on bike. Another option you can use public transport or 4 wheeler which will give fewer jerks to your cervical spine.
Yes cervical spondylosis will worsen meaning gap between vertebrae can reduce.
When you are working on computer you need to take frequent breaks, do some joint rotation exercises, some stretches, maintain proper posture.
You should learn more about computer related injury [CRI] on various websites.
