Greetings,
short story about myself. I use to ride and race bmx when I was younger, I have always enjoyed riding. I quit riding bmx after a wrist injury that had me in pain whenever I tried to ride a bicycle. Few years have passed and I have gotten back into riding and have gotten into the world of cycling. I picked up a bike, Raleigh Revenio, roughly 2 months ago. I am enjoying it a lot and try to go out every day. I am averaging 18-20 miles per ride. My concerns are as follows, I am beginning to be able to stand the pain in the backside after riding, but I am most concerned about the numbness in the feet. I begin to feel it after about 8-10 miles into the ride and am forced to take my feet off the pedals or stop until the tingling has ceased.
Is there anything I can do to forgo this discomfort? I have tried to adjust my seat height to allow my legs more room when bending, position of my feet on the pedal and nothing seems to be working.
Any advice for a novice?
Mike
