I have been riding in my regular sneakers which don't seem to pinch. I've loosened the laces so they weren't tight on the top of my foot. I bought some cycling shoes ~ shimano mt31 thinking cycling shoes might help. The problem actually got worse. Instead of 10-15 miles before this starts it started within a mile or two. :( I have not been professionally fitted for my bike, I have taken it in and the lbs owner said it looked about right as far as my legs etc. I realized after I bought my bike it was a little too small for me. I've since gotten a longer seat post. I'm still a relative beginner, and looking forward to getting a road bike for Christmas. With that bike will come a professional fitting. I just can't see paying more than I paid for my bike for a fitting?? Hey Jeff,

There could be some small adjustments that are needed. Have you been fitted by a pro or a good bike shop? I've seen people get rid of knee pain by millimeter seat adjustments. What about your shoes? Do they pinch during the ride? Just wondering if your feet swell while riding. Are you running clipless pedals? Cleat positioning perhaps? You shouldn’t have to put up with pain while cycling.

Not by riding, and I didn't fall, but I hadn't tried to put it on the bus since I was hospitalized in April. It's VERY heavy. I'm bruised and battered. But, I'm home, and tomorrow, I will ride. Yes, I hurt, but my spirit hurts more if I don't ride every day. Don’t look now, but your enthusiasm’s showing. :)
