Get a Grip!

\"getDo you need to get a grip? Or is your grip already too hard?

I notice that, the more slowly I ride; the more likely my hands are to start feeling numb and tingling. Does that happen to you?

It can be very annoying. I guess the reason for that is, slower riding means less pressure on the pedals; and that makes my weight go forward, resulting in more pressure on my hands. When the weather is cold, this problem is worse.

I find that worrisome, having already shown some symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. I don\’t need to have hand numbness curtail my riding. I\’d better get a grip on it, and figure out this thing.
