Trapezes

Oh! The _trapezius_ muscle in the shoulder, I see.

Have you tried riding without a h*lm*t???

It's important that your handlebars are

1) The correct width for your arms & shoulders.
2) the correct distance from the saddle
3) The correct height
4) Suitably padded

You should always wear gloves IMO but MUST take all the weight off each
hand frequently to prevent nerve damage.
