You might want to talk this over with an occupational therapist or physical therapist, or both. I am big on riding my bike. But only when my hands are doing ok! This year, I had to add a lot of finger braces. And I have a special wrist guards I found to stop the pain in my wrists. If you can't figure this out, you might have to go to an exercise bike. That is what I use all winter. I know, that just isn't the same.

Another thing you might try is going to a bike store, and getting set up better. You might be able to raise the handle bars, change grips, etc, so that your hands are not taking so much weight and effort on them.

I hope you find some ways to hold the handle bars that work for you. Riding a bike is the best exercise possible for me, as my feet are too damaged to even walk, but with modified ways to pedal, it has kept me in shape for years.

I'll look at the braces. I do motorcross though.... so a bike store wouldn't help to much lol. Thank you though.

No, it won't! LOL. I always have a problem when I write "bike" and the motorcycle enthusiasts start talking to me. A lot of the time, I write "bicycle" now, and that helps. But inside the biking community, a different story. I would still look into the grips, and certainly the braces.

One thing is all that bumping should be good to keep knocking the calcium in place in your bones. Bicycle riding can do that too, but not the way I ride, on the paved streets! LOL

I have the same problem when on the Harley. You can try the Thumb throttle adapter to help the wrist and see if you can lighten the load off of the clutch lever. Soaking in heat helps me before I try to do things and will give me better relief than most of the OTC pain meds I choke down. Just know your limits, or you'll end up like me: doing a wheelie in the driveway... Accidently on purpose. lol

I just got back from the dessert with a thumb throttle and a brace and it was wonderful!!! and hey I bet you looked like a pro with that accidently on purpose wheelie! lol
