Hi everyone, this is my first post. Great forum! I have been cycling, on and off, all my life but that was mainly fun mountain bike experiences around the local woodland and parks that didn't last that long. More recently, I have taken up road cycling and bought myself a second hand Giant Defy and go out 3-4 times a week. On average, I travel around 25kms but as I'm getting used to to it, I have upped the distance to around 35kms. I find when riding that my left hand often goes numb, usually after about 5kms. My right isn't affected as much so I'm thinking my fitbit (which I wear as loose as possible) and wedding ring is prohibiting my blood flow. Does anyone else have this issue and perhaps have a good solution. I find myself constantly shaking my left arm to get the blood pumping back in and after a while gets frustrating. I suppose I could take my wedding ring off each time but I'm more likely to lose doing this. And I enjoy analysing my heart rate etc. from my fitbit after a cycle so I would be reluctant to discard this too. Other than that, I sure love this new found interest.
