Just think, you can repetitive stress injuries in your office. If using a mouse wrong can hurt your wrist, think how much bad it could be on your bike if you misaligned. Here are some products to help reduce the chance of getting hurt from just riding your bike.
On-One Mary Bar
Who ever came up with the standard flat or riser mountain bar never looked at how the hands actually sit. Traditional bars put the wrists near the limit of their range of motion making over use injuries much more likely. If you experience wrist pain when riding your mountain bike come in and check out the Mary Bar. I got them in to help my wrist problems and figured I can't be the only one who gets sore wrists.
Multiple hand positions and increased back sweep make for a more ergonomic hand position. I've been riding them for a few months now and it really improves comfort and bike handling. By moving your hand in and out on the grips you can fine tune your weight distribution for climbing. As well, out of the saddle you'll find you have more leverage as the elbows stay tighter to the body kicking in the stronger upper back muscles. I think it adds a hardcore look to my bike as well. There are other options in this style of bar including the Misfit FU Bar and Soma Clarence bar.
Ergon Grips
Comfort comes down to contact points. Butt, feet and hands. Everybody hunts for the right saddle and you try on shoes to find a good fit but until recently there wasn't much variety available in grips. Sure there are a lot of patterns and thicknesses but they are all basically padded tubes over your bar. Then along comes a small Swiss company that is looked at the shape of the hand and made a grip to fit.
I've been running these for a while. The increased surface area and curvy shape is super comfy. I find they really help with bike control as well, because the varying shape keeps your hands from bouncing around and increases leverage when climbing. Ergons lock on with allen key collars so they stay in place no matter how wet the conditions.
Sole Custom Footbeds
Heat moldable insoles give your foot proper support. By replacing the stock, flat insoles in most cycling shoes, the foot is stabilized keeping the arch from collapsing and reducing foot fatigue on longer rides.
Lemond Lewedges
Little shims that go between your cleat and shoe, Lewedges can help correct pronation or suppination of the foot when pedaling. If your knee rotates in as you push down on the pedals these might just be what the doctor ordered. A stable foot will give you more power and less knee pain.
Speedplay Pedals
While there are a lot of good road pedals from a mechanical stand point, the Speedplay Zero and Light Action pedals are unique in the fitting options available. Three different axle lengths and two different adapter plates allow more adjustment to cleat placement than any other pedal system. I use longer axles and the rear mounting adapter plate to get my feet wider and cleats further back to deal with a stiff hip and heavy pronation on the right side. The Zero pedals are the only ones I've found that allow me to get my cleats placed so I can pedal pain-free. If you have a knee or ankle pain that won't go away these might be the trick for making riding enjoyable again.
FSA Shallow wing bar
Short reach, shallow drop and a level transition to the brake lever hoods make this the most comfortable bar I've ever ridden. Rather than put up with sore wrists and a drop position to low to actually use, check into these bars. Everyone I've setup with a pair loves the comfort and performance that comes from being able to use all of the hand positions and the bar.
It's in you to become a better cyclist. Helping you get there is my goal. Equipment, riding skills, fitness and nutrition all have to be dialed in to reach your potential. To take your next step on that journey visit http://www.cyclecambridge.com
2010 Suzuki Kizashi First Drive
The midsize sedan class presents some tough competition, from the likes of Toyota's Camry, Honda's Accord, Chevrolet's Malibu, Ford's Fusion, Nissan's Altima, Mazda's Mazda6 and many more. Suzuki's apparent target is closer to such smaller, sportier and more expensive European entries as VW's Jetta, Audi's A4 and even BMW's vaunted 3 Series. One stated mission is to move the brand upscale "without abandoning Suzuki's traditional emphasis on content and value."
An even more aggressive Concept Kizashi 2 followed at the October Tokyo Motor Show then a third variation debuted at the March, 2008 New York Auto Show. This one, Concept Kizashi 3, was much tamer and more production-realistic. It looked, in fact, a lot like the real thing is now hitting the market and demonstrated Suzuki was serious about taking on the well-established entries in the U.S. market's most competitive car class. Inside, the fits and materials are generally good, though not up to typical Euro-sedan standards, and the seats are handsome and nicely supportive with available leather trim. The instrument panel's major gauges have a precision look: Its faux brushed-aluminum-rimmed center stack mirrors the front grille's rounded-V shape, and its controls are intuitively easy to see, reach and operate. We appreciated the nicely cushioned three-spoke steering wheel with handy spoke-mounted audio and other controls.
The only engine residing beneath that power-dome hood for now is a willing 2.4-liter aluminum four good for 185 horses with a standard 6-speed manual transaxle, or five ponies fewer with the available continuously variable transmission (CVT). Rare in this size and price class, the option of Suzuki's latest "intelligent" all-wheel drive (i-AWD) can improve both bad-weather traction and cornering capability. The systems constantly variable front-to-rear torque split is a function of a number of factors, including wheel slippage, throttle and steering input.
Standard on the sub-$20K base Kizashi S are push-button start, steering wheel audio controls, dual-zone climate control and a split-folding rear seat with a pass-through for long objects such as skis. Standard safety features include Electronic Stability Program (ESP), anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and a class-leading set of eight airbags.
The next-level SE adds the CVT automatic transmission, 17-inch tires on alloy wheels, a 10-way power driver?s seat with three-position memory, cruise control and leather wrapping on the steering wheel, shifter and parking brake lever. The sport-oriented GTS offers 18-inch wheels and tires, power moonroof, fog lamps, a 425-watt Rockford-Fosgate audio system with integrated Bluetooth hands-free phone capability and a choice of manual or CVT transmission, the latter with paddle shifters for manual gear selection. The top-of-the-line SLS features leather seating, three-stage heated seats, a four-way power passenger seat, heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors and automatic on/off headlamps.
We spent 7 days driving a 6-speed manual AWD Kizashi GTS locally and beyond and came away impressed. We have found Suzuki's small cars and SUVs lively in spirit, especially the sporty AWD SX4s, and good in most ways-but we had no idea what to expect from their first foray into midsize sedan territory.
We found it less than plush yet surprisingly comfy and quiet, well put together and fun to drive. The manual gearbox shifted surely and crisply, and the 4-cylinder engine performed well at lower RPMs but tended to run out of breath at higher engine speeds. On-road handling was good, steering precise, and braking strong and stable as needed. A bit smaller inside and out than typical midsize sedans, it?s no limo but sufficient in back for full-size adults.
We later enjoyed an opportunity to put a group of Kizashis (manual and CVT, FWD and AWD) and key competitors through a series of handling tests and a handful of laps at Virginia International Raceway (VIR), near Danville, VA. They performed impressively and (not surprisingly, since the tests were designed by enthusiastic Suzuki engineers) better overall than the selected high-volume competitors on hand. The highlight was a couple of fast track laps in a prototype V-6 powered Kizashi that likely foretells of future availability.
