What am I doing wrong? After about 10-15 minutes of riding my hands go numb. I lose feeling on my hands. I think I might be leaning on the bars. I only ride 15-25 minutes at a time "first time rider" because I'm waiting to go to the MSF course this weekend. I actually didn't mind sitting at the red light...

Use your legs and back more while riding. Also try either getting some gel grips or gel padded gloves. Those will keep vibrations down to a minimum.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

LOOSEN UP!
Being tense can be your problem for one. I also try to make sure that my wrist aren't bent down, try to keep the back side of your hand straight with your arm to keep blood flowing.TDA Racing/Motorsports

In addition to the other good advice already given I would also remind you to check the fit of your gear. I found that if I over tighten the cuffs on my gloves my hands go numb. I also read about a guy who was experiencing numbness as a result of a jacket that was too tight around his shoulder. In a rider position it would restrict blood flow.

great advice tzortn. It was actually part of my newb problem too. Glad that part is a thing of the past. Riding is so much more fun when you can feel your hands.
I had the same problem at first and got all the same advice as above. I tried all the stuff that did not cost me any money first (cuz I'm a cheap F'er) and it worked!!R.I.P. Marc
