Lately I've been getting numbness in my hand when biking. Is this common? Do I need to adjust my handlebars or is this something else? It generally happens after about 30 minutes / 5 miles.
1) are you handlebars wrapped? 2) do you wear gloves? 3) when you are riding, are you gripping on for dear life, or are your fingers/hands loose (you shouldn't be leaning on your hands) 4) you'll get used to it!
Yeah, it happens to me. Wearing gloves helps, and so does changing my hand position around during the ride. It's hard to totally avoid entirely when I get into several hour rides.
