ME SORE BACK!!

[Drunken Monkey]

Little known trick = try holding on to the tank by squeezing your legs instead of trying to hold on to the handle bars by pushing against them with your arms. Ok, that sounds whack. What I'm trying to say is, you should only be lightly holding on to the handle bars - they are there to steer the bike, not hold your weight. This is one of the reasons people can get sore backs (not just wrists). If you try to remember to squeeze the tank with your legs, it may help take the load off your back.

It perhaps cometh easier to the female biker ?

Ride lots - get bike fit.

Or buy a bike with a proper riding position.

Good call. There should be a triangle of evenly(ish) distributed weight - hands, arse, and feet. Try putting more weight on one of these and you'll find less on the others. Tricks such as drunko's are also good in the mix.

Keep your arms bent, but not your wirsts. Your levers should be at angle so that wrists stay straight.

Else, go faster so it hurts less time ?

Good luck.

Try dead lifting, it strengthens all the major muscle groups that are used in riding. But must do correctly to work. It's also a big + in a spill if you're in good shape
