Come to the Dark Side and go recumbent. It's what I'm going to do. My hands are so ****ed up from typing 60 hours a week (with 3 more weeks of proposal writing to go) that I don't dare touch my touring bike, where the riding position was causing severe wrist pain. I just want to ride and not screw around modifying the bike, so my Trek is going to go up for sale and I will then save my pennies for a 'bent while I deal with the hand/wrist issues medically.
