I ride a hybrid with a straight handlebar with grips on the ends. I think that the grips make the cicumference of the handlebar too thick for my hands. I have a difficult time wrapping my fingers around the handlebar ( it causes a lot of discomfort in my hands) and so I usually ride with my thumb curled over the top of the handlebar instead of curled underneath the handlebar ( was that confusing?? ) Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas on how to alleviate this? I've been looking at different types of handlebars and wondered if a "trekking" handlebar might be more comfortable. Does anybody have one of these?
