As does a more upright position </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10754#post-118781 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:18:40 +0000 Baldcyclist 118781@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ahh, is that what causes that, thank goodness, often wondered if it was my heart (left hand worse for me)!</p> <p>Of course my solution, rather than go to doctor, cycle more, it'll go away, well the high blood pressure did!</p> <p>Hypercondria laid to rest for another day. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10754#post-118775 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:52:14 +0000 PS 118775@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now you mention it, it happened to me two or three times while I was cycling in France a couple of weeks ago in 28 degree heat. First time in ages - thought I'd sorted it once I'd got some decent padded gloves. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10754#post-118766 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:34:32 +0000 SRD 118766@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone else finding the heat and humidity making carpal tunnel/numb hands worse than usual? </p> <p>Any suggestions for improvement?</p> <p>I've had this for years - since kayaking/weightlifting in my teens, so not cycling specific and not much hope for improvement, but I know it is common among cyclists. </p>
