When you ride your bike do you experience tingling, numbness or pain in your arm, wrist, hand or fingers? It is estimated that one third of repetitive stress injuries in cycling involve the hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of the median nerve at the wrist) is one of the most common. Proper positioning and wearing the correct gear may prevent these injuries from occurring.
A very common problem I see in my chiropractic practice is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It wouldn't surprise me if you know someone yourself that suffers from CTS. Several thousand people annually undergo carpal tunnel surgery. Even though CTS is a very common disorder, doctors still have very little understanding about what causes CTS and what can be done to prevent it.
Carpal tunnel syndrome has been associated with certain metabolic conditions such as diabetes, gout and thyroid disease. It is a commonly held belief that repetitive manual occupations or activities can cause CTS, but there have not been any scientific studies conclusively proving a link between occupational activity and CTS.
Although cycling has not been identified as a direct cause of CTS, riding with the hands on top of the handlebar creates direct pressure onto the median nerve. The result of this direct pressure on the median nerve can result in symptoms of numbness and tingling in the fingers and thumb, and sometimes weakness of the hand can occur also. In mild circumstances, the symptoms usually resolve quickly once the ride has ended or in more serious conditions if you stop cycling altogether for a week or two.
Although hand position and median nerve pressure contributes to these symptoms there are usually multifactorial causes for neurological symptoms such as pain, tingling and numbness. It is important no matter the level of competition or recreational cycling that if you are experiencing these types of symptoms to be evaluated by a qualified health care professional. For the serious amateur or professional cyclist who spend hours training and racing, this repetitive stress can take its toll. CTS is a condition that can be prevented and avoided and hopefully not interfere or end a promising cycling career.
Injury to the median nerve results in symptoms of pins, needles, numbness, tingling and weakness. The median nerve passes from the forearm to the wrist through the carpal tunnel. The tunnel is made up of carpal bones which form the floor, and the roof is formed by a thick ligament. The flexor tendons of the fingers are also packed tightly into the tunnel. When the nerve is irritated inflammation and swelling occur, and the increased pressure on the nerve causes it to malfunction and the CTS symptoms.
Being properly fit to your bike frame, seat and handlebar heights and angles, and pedals can be the first step in preventing CTS. Proper fit is a major step to not only performance and comfort, but preventing overuse injuries while cycling. Being in an upright position, taking direct pressure of your hands, wrists and the median nerve will reduce the likelihood of irritating or damaging the carpal tunnel structures. When out on long rides, make sure you constantly shift positions on the handlebars and not keep to one position for an extended length of time. Cycling gloves usually have padding that helps protect the hands, and some people even like to use padded handlebars to give them extra comfort. The extra padding helps to absorb the shock from a rough road also. Make sure the weight on your hands is not directly centered on the palms of the hand, and is evenly distributed to the outside of the hands as well. Stretch your hands and wrists before and after each ride. This will help prepare the tissues and also recover better if you take a few minutes to do a short stretching session before hitting the road.
A lot of cycling overuse injuries are the result of poor preparation and improper positioning on the bike. Taking the extra time to address these issues may minimise the possibility of injuries occurring.
If you are already suffering the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome resting, wrist splinting, and chiropractic care are frequently the initial treatments for CTS. Addressing the proper positioning, pedal fit, handlebar and seat height, and padded gloves may reduce the stress on the wrists and hands and minimise the severity and symptoms of CTS. In a severe situation cutting back on the riding time may help an injured nerve to recover.
The conservative approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome listed above is most successful for early and mild cases. Studies indicate that approximately thirty percent of people will respond to this type of treatment. In more severe cases other more aggressive measures may be required, but this is rare if addressed properly from the onset.
Corrective chiropractic care is a conservative, safe, effective and gentle approach to improving function to the injured areas. Specific mobilisation of the involved joints and tissues enables tissue repair, fluid exchange and nutrition to enable the body to begin to repair itself. The conservative approach is an effective and safe alternative to surgery in mild to moderate conditions of CTS.
If you or someone you know is experiencing the symptoms of CTS, They should be assessed by a qualified health professional. Once a thorough history and consultation has been done, along with a complete physical, neurological and orthopedic examination, a diagnosis can be made along with the correct treatment recommendations. Delaying treatment could result in long term nerve damage or other chronic symptoms.

Gas Moped Scooters are Driving Me Nuts - Quiet Please!
Copyright (c) 2008 Arnold Hexden
Does the sound of gas moped scooters bother you? It drives me nuts; let me explain. I recently moved to Spain from the UK and after getting my bearings one of the first things I noticed was the difference in the amount of cars on the road; now you would think that fewer cars would be a good thing, however I have reservations. You see there is a fundamental difference here - the weather is better - some 300 days of sunshine a year, which means that there is a huge proportion of the traveling public using motorcycles, mopeds and scooters.
Again I hear you say that must be a good thing as it has to be good for the environment, I agree, however during the summer the noise pollution which occurs at peak times of the day and well into the night can be unbearable. There is also the issue of two stroke engines pumping pollutants into the atmosphere.
That got me thinking about how the scooter manufacturers should be introducing alternative methods of powering these machines. I started to search the big ones such as Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki etc as they seem to be the main culprits for the noise on the streets around my house. I was amazed at the work that had been done in finding an alternative mode of power, such as Yamaha's range of hybrid motorcycles which were launched at motor shows in 2005. The problem is they don't seem to have been brought to market.
It appears that most of the big manufacturers have built concept models and showed them at the major motor shows but few have been have made it to the street.
Honda have been a notable exception to that rule with the stunning Vectrix and have produced a good looking electric motorcycle which is packed with technology and is capable of giving a traditional city bike a run for it's money. Compare them like for like, and it is hard to tell the difference between it and a petrol scooter, however when you open up the throttle the lack of engine noise gives it away.
Plug it in at night and it will return over 70 miles on a two our charge, It has a top speed of around 65 mph and is extremely comfortable. One of the cleverest things about the Honda Vectrix is it's "regenerative braking" unlike a gas scooter when you ease off the throttle the scooter does not slow, however you twist it past it's resting point and the brakes kick in - the further it is twisted the more it brakes, and whilst it does so it turns the motor into a dynamo which tops up the battery charge.
The down side of this fabulous bike is the price, bearing in mind the age group of the average rider is probably between seventeen and thirty years old, I think $12000 which is about 8000 Euro could be be prohibitive and will take take time for them to enter the pr-owned after market.
In the winter when the tourists go home and the town returns to normal the noise subsides and you can hear the birds singing, I only hope that in the coming year the big scooter manufacturers can break down the technology barriers which restrict the development of alternatively fueled bikes and scooters so that we may live in peace.

How to make my bike faster?
Hi i am doing the London to Brighton bike ride for the third year this June. In i'm nut shell i don't know a great deal about bike parts and the best quality and am after a little bit more perfomance.
Last year i replaced the massive chunky tyres and fitted some slim road tyres and my god a what a difference it made from the first year i did the London the Brighton!
I have been looking at speed chains and am would if this would improve the performance/speed? If there are any over suggestions to make my bike faster i would like to know thanks.
Hello i am talking about a push bike. Sorry for the mix up.
My bike is a Sarason not sure if thats spelt right. It's got front suspension and v brakes i think it's got 21 gears?
You did the right thing. London-Brighton is a road run. You therefore want to lower your rolling resistance.
As suggested, lightening your bike may help. However, the lighter something is, the more expensive it becomes. It may be cheeper to buy a new bike. E.G. Easton Monkey Light carbon bars = £100, Seat post £90. Hollowtec XT chainset £300.
There are a few things that you can do. Firstly, pump up your tyre pressure to at least 45psi. This will make cycling on the road easier. If your road tyres run at roadie pressures, go for 110 psi (Read the side of the tyre).
Lower your handle bars. This will push your centre of gravity forward, helping you with the hills and therefore making you faster.
Lose weight. Many riders will happily spend a couple of grand getting their bike under a certain weight, but carry extra weight themselves. Get lean and, not only will you be better, you will be faster.
Keep fueled. You have about two hours worth of energy in your legs. Another 1/2 hour in your liver. You need to replace this as you ride. So get a good sized cammelback at least 2l and fill it up with a decent isotonic sports drink. I like SIS Go, but have a look for what works for you. Next fuel up with cerial in the morning and carbs the night before (Pasta). Eat energy bars during the run, as well as popping jelly babies in order to get you up hills. Again, it is worth looking at an energy gell periodically.
People like mountain bikers tend to peddle hard. Roadies on the other hand tend to drop a gear and peddle faster. This, although seeming more frantic, will save your legs and it is a more energy efficient method for road work.
