Or to be more accurate, my thumb joints. I used to get a painful left thumb joint when I was a barmaid (about a hundred years ago), caused by collecting towering piles of empty pint glasses, in my left hand, supported by my left thumb. Ouch.
I've also always had double-jointed thumbs (well, until I sprained my right wrist quite badly a couple of years ago). Now I just have a double-jointed left thumb.
So I was a bit worried and mystified when my thumb joints started hurting about a week ago.
I asked a few cycling tweeters on twitter about it. And got some good advice back. Mainly to do with my posture, pressure on the handlebars and gripping too tightly.
Turns out Mr-know-it-all at the spinning class may have been on to something.
So as much as I hate it, I stand corrected.
Made a conscious difference in stance and grip today (God, I am boring myself now) but it made a real difference.
Just don't get me started on pedestrians who wait until their green man goes red, then do a dash across the road.
Really? You'd do that if I was a car?
