Bike Gloves
How do I keep my hands from getting numb while out bike riding?
When I am out on my mountain bike for longer rides (10km+) my hands start to get numb and I have to keep changing positions or shake them out. I have cycling gloves already but they don’t seem to help. Any advice on how I can avoid this?
The gloves are for comfort, not temperature.
There are a few good answers here but only one or two are really right on. The biggest reason is your not moving your hands around enough. If you are riding a traditional road bike move your hands to the hoods (top of the brake levers) to the drops, then to the back of the bars and sit back and take the weight of your hands. You should be doing this every five to ten minutes or so. Experiment with varios positions and you’ll soon find what works for you. If you think about doing it on a regular schedule it will soon be a habit. I do not recommend aero-drops or “tri-bars” to anyone but experienced riders planning on doing triathlons or time-trials. You don’t have the control needed for most urban riding and you’re too far from your brakes. If you are riding a mountain bike or a commuter style bike then you can add a set of short bull horn bar ends so you have another position to move your hands to. There are some softer foam grips that you can get as well. You should also consider gloves with gel padding in the palms or having a shop put some soft cork tape or bar tape with gel underneath it on your handlebars.
Lastly, but really the most important, is to make sure your bike is fit you and set up for your style of riding. A poorly fit bike may be stretching you out to much and forcing more weight on your hands than neccessary. A new handlebar stem with more rise and less length might but your best bet.
