20 min. 3.5 mi. Total: 403.9 mi. Still on the Road.

The bottom of my foot and the thing behind my knee are hurting again: definite backsliding during these past 3 weeks of artwork. XD

The problem with my bike is that the straps that go over your foot are too small, even on the largest setting, to wear with shoes, so I have to bike barefoot. (I have no idea what's up with that.) But both my feet and the thing behind my knee quit hurting after a few days of biking before, so I assume they'll do it again. :D (They don't hurt as bad now as they did when I first started biking in January, at least.)

Oh yeah, everything stops hurting eventually as you mutate to accommodate the demands of the new environment...

Hm. I know that using toe straps makes exercise more efficient, as you work on the upstroke as well as the down, have you tried it without straps and with sneakers/shoes, if the straps can be taken off? I took mine off (old Lifecycle), no bad effects that I can perceive have followed.

The other thing that comes to mind is perhaps the bike came with the wrong straps!
