Wisconsin works to build a better glove for cyclists

The University of Wisconsin has teamed up with a major bike company, to create a new line of gloves designed to help prevent aches in cyclist?s hands. UW-Madison engineers — and Trek Bicycles of Waterloo — say the gloves will alleviate what?s called ?cyclist?s palsy?. The condition is caused by high pressure on the hand?s ulnar nerve during long rides, resulting in lingering numbness in the fingers.
