Can my relative still ride a bike despite having RSI My relative has RSI, and encounters wrist pain from fairly minor activities involving use of hands. Is there anything that could be recommended so they could still enjoy cycling despite having RSI?
Thanks a lot.
I'll note that health and medical advice is generally off-topic here, but the bicycle configuration could have a strong bearing on how your relative manages.
Generally speaking an upright posture, on a &quot;city bike&quot;, will place less stress on the hands and arms than a racier road bike or mountain bike.
And some recumbent configurations, especially of the tricycle variety, are also less stressful to the hands and arms.
But it's up to your relative, in consultation with his doctor and a knowledgeable bike fitter, to decide what is suitable.
