I have just started commuting on the bike and although I am riding the
same MTB (now 15 yrs old) with runners and toe clips, I did lash out and
buy a set of bike shorts (the MTB type with pockets etc but with a
chamois). My left big toe goes numb when I ride! The only difference to
the setup I have ridden for years are the shorts and a few years of age.
Reading Bicycling Aust Mag, an article on seats mentioned genital
numbness as a consequence of a poor seat, but toes?
I am going to assume the combination of shorts and seat might be doing
it and I am sitting on a nerve or something. Does anyone know where this
nerve would probably be located and should I be after a wider or
narrower seat?
On the plus side, the winter cold won't bother me if I am already numb!
