Hi there fellow cyclists.
I got on this site because I need a connection to cyclists who have issues with their wrists.I'm a senior and I've been riding most of my life , most recently good road bikes on century rides in Southern Ontario.
I've had issues with my wrists caused by osteoarthritis which this year is causing me lots of aggravation to the point where I need wrist splints. I'm considering a different handlebar set up, or maybe even a different bike.
Are there any fellow cyclists out there with similar issues who might be able to give me some advice?
Thanks in advance.
