CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedAnyone else finding the heat and humidity making carpal tunnel/numb hands worse than usual?
Any suggestions for improvement?
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.
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.
Ahh, is that what causes that, thank goodness, often wondered if it was my heart (left hand worse for me)!
Of course my solution, rather than go to doctor, cycle more, it'll go away, well the high blood pressure did!
Hypercondria laid to rest for another day.
Doctor told me to take ibuprofen - reduces the inflammation.
Handlebars that let you move your hands around (drops, touring bars, bullhorns) also help if it's cycling related. As does a more upright position
@baldcyclist Pregnancy also aggravates it, but I guess you don't need to worry about that :)
