  1. Just googled bike fitters and they exist in the UK so may take a look when I am there next. Out of interest when do you get the numbness. Mine is always both hands when I get it and always at night which is very annoying as it interferes with my sleep.
  2. Thank you... I have asked my physio and also previous physio's. I am having a new MRI done in a couple of weeks and may ask my rheumatologist although i have found in the past any medical person normally advices me not to exercise because of the risk of falling. I was even adviced against hiking! I am a rebellious patient which helped my recovery enormously! I don't want to spend a considerable amount of money on a new bike to find I have made the wrong purchase.
  3. Hello, I am a forty four year old who has three spinal fusions in her neck. Two from birth and the third from a serious spinal injury where I had to learn to walk again. Six years after the injury I am pretty lucky and can do most things but limit too much impact when exercising. I cycle with my kids to school on a heavy dutch style bike but if I cycle too often my fingers go numb at night. I am trying to work out what is the ideal bike for me as ideally I would like to cycle more for fitness and also because my eleven and nine year old boys have joined a triathlon club. My eldest child cycles independently so I only need to carry bags for one child and my youngest can cycle on his own next year. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good bike and I am even ready to consider an electric bike! Help me! Or a light upright bike rather than my cheap decathlon bike. Many thanks Mary
