That advice is valid for everyone.

I see far too many people riding with locked elbows and very extended wrists. They're just setting themselves up for a stress injury.
To help drive this important point home:




I still don't have full use after two years, and I'm a musician. It sucks. Straighten and unload your wrists! Cruise on the hoods, not on the center. If your bars have cozy-looking flat tops for center comfort, don't be fooled, it's an invitation to stiff-arm. This happened after riding a couple years with the flat part level, not even a stressed feeling in the bend.
