Riding a bike is a very enjoyable, very healthy and safe way of daily workout. Riding a bike should not be a painful experience, yet it is possible to feel pains as a consequence of wrong way of using the bike. You have probably heard that experience is the best way of explaining different phenomena from all aspects of our living, so we are going to give you an outline on a painful experience from a female bike rider.
Elbow Pain in Bike Riding
Female bike riders usually have problems with the right elbow when riding a bike. So did this young woman. This woman felt great pains in the elbow when riding a bike, especially in the last times she went on a ride. She mentions that she is not a very extreme bike rider and she is riding at speed of only 20 miles per hour. Also she mentioned that she is dealing with hilly rides. Because her neighborhood does not enable her ride her bike on flat terrain, however, not to steep, of course. She is not complaining of any problems with muscle tension or soreness, nor does she have any other issue besides that awful right elbow pain. She says that she is very cautious when riding a bike and she does not grip the hoods. Her fingers are mostly relaxed during her ride, and, as previously mentioned, she is far from a bike rider that takes this sport to the extreme.
