Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Mine, too. She worked for a year, and decided that sheit ain’t for her.

No kept man status likely. ☹️

It won't ease fatigue, but it will definitely make you not feel the aches. Now if your wrist is injured, ibuprofen will let you ignore it for a while. Emphasis on "for a while".

Careful what you take when you stress your body. It tends to exacerbate the bad that it may cause.

Gotcha. I think it definitely helped my wrist but overall I may just be getting a little more fit.

Wrist has been a tiny bit sore for a while, but since I've moved to being a full time mechanic it's gotten worse with all the lifting & wrench turning.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if I had psoriatic arthritis. Seems to move around my body randomly and oddly seems to get worse as skin flare-ups get better.

Uh oh. If your wrist is bothering you in a manner not well explained by use/injury, and you have possible psoriasis, you should think about getting it checked out, maybe even at a dreaded witch doctor. I don't know too much about PsA, but it's said of RA that the earlier you get it diagnosed/start treatment, the easier it is to control.

I went to lunch with several of the guys at my last job and the subject of hand pain came up. I was surprised at how most of us had it in common, even the younger guys. A few of us also had the swelling/lumpy area around the joints behind the nail bed.

Mine have improved since retiring but I still get some hand pain.

I cannot accept the bonus points as the top tube is actually sloping, its just the photo angle that makes it look horizontal.

It's a size 54.
