Too much pressure forward on the hands. (you've pinched the ulnar nerve - the same nerve which may be weak from typing on computers too much in the wrong position.)
Try the following: Raise the handlebar. Wear gel-padded gloves. Most importantly: change hand positions often. So says Merel.
The geometry of how you sit on the bike is very important: distance of seat to handlebar to pedal (the whole triangle) determines a lot, from strength required to pedal to stability of the ride on hills. go here and click on grips/hands or wherever you want...
When I biked frequently I wore gel-padded gloves and found them very beneficial.

So if I did a 30+ mile bike ride today and my right pinky still is tingling how do I make it stop and how do I prevent it next time?

Okay I give up. This is four pictures I've tried to send to relho and none of them have shown up. I got one failure message, but the other three seemed to go through. Anyway there were some nice views of Pittsburgh from the top of the convention center you didn't get to see.

I have been watching this "eco" tv show based in Southern California and can't help but wonder if they realize the local farmer can not be environmentally friendly because they are using water from hundreds of miles away.

Hmmm. Interesting. I don't have anything marked on my calendar for that week either. Oh, now I do.
