I invented FlatBars for a girl with carpal tunnel syndrome. She
extended her fifteen minute riding range to
San Francisco to Phoenix.

In 1999 I was 49. I took a FlatBar test ride through Europe:
18 countries, 3 continents, 29680 miles.

FlatBars are ergonomic. Each has a thumb cutaway that prevents
pressure on your medial nerve. Pressure is put on your medial nerve
by gripping any cylindrical object. That's what puts peoples hands
to sleep...we're all wired the same.

Welcome back to the sport.

I recommend that you buy a bike with tubular handlebars, because
there are several extra tricks you can use to further minimize
vibrations
