First off I'm very new to cycling and and very glad to have found this forum. I'm hoping that some of you out there with years of experience can help answer some of my questions.

I have had the symptoms of carpal tunnel for the last 2-3 years (not diagnosed because of lack of insurance and $$) but still a problem. In my recent bicycle adventures I have noticed a lot of numbness and pain in my wrists which starts about 30 minutes into a ride and get worse progressively (numbness reaches elbows) until I stop and break for a while. Does anyone know how I could take some of the tension off of my arms/wrists/hands while cycling? I don't want this to interfere with my bicycle fun! Thanks!
