Hitting 50 (Y.O. and kmh) sucks. However, after 160 (kmh) I find that wind pressure against my body takes the weight off my wrists and back and I feel fine.
But commuting means you occasionally have to slow down. And my wrists hurt again. So I machined up a one-inch riser using 1" thick aluminium plate (what a coincidence!) and basic home workshop tools. All the threaded holes come in handy for mounting displays and data loggers from.
