intern Posted October 7, 2008 Share OK, less flippant, if I haven't been riding my MTB a lot, I will get 'grip shift thumb' which is pretty sore and manifests as a blister on the inside of my thumb. If I have been riding a lot, I get dry cracked hard thumb skin. But I don't do anything about it, cause one look tells even the casual observer that I am as tough as nails and have the strength of many men. intern2008-10-07 03:26:57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkey Posted October 7, 2008 Share OK, 1st seeing as this a cycling forum... If one cycles alot, then the inside of ones thumbs wears out and tries to grow back. Last week my skin cracked and I could see a tiny bit of blood. LOL re girl friend comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
