Hello ladies,

I ride a 2010 Fuji Finest 1.0. I love this bike! I've been tweaking the fit bit by bit and I think I just about have it right. I bought her on July 4th and started riding, so I'm still pretty darn new to cycling.

My hands fall asleep on longer rides. I went on a couple of longer rides (for me) this weekend as well as a trail ride on my horses so my bits were a bit tired and smushed from the extra saddle time. Last night I did 14 miles of speed intervals and my hands were really falling asleep. I know I was putting more pressure on them to relieve my seat...

But, my husband rode my bike down the road the other day just to feel it out. He said his hands fell asleep almost immediately and he thinks it has something to do with the diameter of my handlebars. They are way thinner than his handlebars and our hands are nearly the same size. His are much more squishy and have a nicer bigger surface to grab onto.

I haven't ridden his bike (way too big for me) but I like the way his handlebars feel. How can I get that feeling on my bike? Can I put another layer of handlebar tape on them to make them thicker? or, do I just need to buy new handlebars all together?
