This morning I retired my winter cycling shoes and brought out my fair-weather shoes. After about 15
minutes, while I was riding up a hill I encounter every morning, I felt a pain in my thigh that over
the years I've come to associate with having my saddle too low. I figured a change in cleat
placement or perhaps in the thickness of the soles had changed my position on the bike and that the
pain came from working muscles that were usually idle. I moved the saddle up a centimeter and
immediately felt better.
Before lurking in this group I would have let it rest at that. But now I wonder if my explanation is
correct or even if the phenomenon has any basis in fact.
