    And I am sure it's not from being too cold here in Florida. It seems like
    after riding for about 30 minutes I start to get a bit of numbness in my
    finger, but if I switch hand position it will go away for a while, and then
    come back slightly. I have read that cycling gloves may help this condition.
    Is it caused my a pinched nerve and or a pinched blood vessel cutting of the
    flow of blood to my fingers?

    Usually IME from pressure on the soft tissues. So I find it is worse
    with gel grips than with taped handlebars and good quality track
    mitts. Of course, these days I have no such problems as I usually
    ride a recumbent :-)
