Ganglian Cyst: A Result of Cycling?

Dear Richard,

So much for the vaunted angled brackets! I was grossly
deceived about their power to contain even the longest url.
(Or the editor that I used added a hyphen and broke the
line.)

Thanks for smacking the swollen address flat with tinyurl.

Dear Carl,

I had never heard of angled brackets serving that function. I must
admit that I was stumped by the hyphen for a moment.

By the way, you have me thinking about getting my own Fury roadmaster
to play on - do they come big enough for someone 6'4"?

If not, just enclose yourself in angled brackets. It should fit then.

Struck out. And I really wanted this to work, too.

Trim the URL.
groups.google.com/groups?selm=20c7afc9.0310070217.14e5a004%40posting .google.com
might do the trick, though it is long.

Of course, there's always tinyurl. http://tinyurl.com/3fkfm

is urination still possible?

No, urination was made impossible by a recent anti-urination ray
fired on us by an alien race that intends to invade as soon as we'll
all sick. What they don't know is that we'll be "full of **** and
vinegar"...

There was once, on The Comedy Channel (now defunct, replaced by
Comedy Central), a late night show which played clips of really
crappy movies, and had a talk-show-style discussion of them. At
least, I think that was the idea; I can only remember one episode. I
do remember the show focused on very bad taste.

The one I remember showed a couple minutes of a movie in which a guy
urinated (hah! fit urination in this thread TWICE!) through a
knothole in a wooden fence, not knowing that somebody was sleeping
on the other side. The angry awakened sleeper ripped off the
offending protrusion, and the now-stumpy urinator proceeded to
attempt to retrieve his missing part. A game of monkey-in-the-middle
ensued, during which they showed slo-mo close-ups of the missile in
play, tumbling through the air.

The memory of that scene bothers me occasionally, and I wonder what
the name of the show was, and what the movie was. And mostly, I
wonder why I keep remembering it...

I wonder if this is amore common problem among cyclists than in the general
population?

Ganglion cysts, it is thought, can arise from tendonitis and arthritis. I
think that the soft tissue in my hands has been stressed from a relatively
large volume of riding this spring. For many years I've had pain in the area
that the cyst has sprouted, and I have always attributed the pain to riding.

This year I moved away from anatomical bars for aesthetic reasons. Maybe a
dumb move.

No real treatment for it and unfortunately the cyst interferes with the
motion of my thumb and impinges on nerves, and so I think riding will just
makes it worse.

Anyone else had this problem, and did it lead to a change of *cycling
habits*? (It used to be thought that these things could be cured by hitting
them with a bible.
Maybe I need to consult a nun who rides.)

I know dozens of people with Ganglian Cysts, none of which even ride
bikes. Yet, I know no cyclist who have one. So, off hand I would say
there is no direct connection - in my experience anyway. My wife has
a pretty nasty one, and she has not ridden a bike since grade school.
Her's gets better or worse usually depending on how much she uses her
hand. Some times there seems to be know reason it is worse. And ya,
there is no real cure. Everyone I know who have had them removed
surically, has had them return. Kind of sucks.
