DemiCat Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Good Day fellow cyclists Soooo I’ve moved to indoor spinning(by my lonesome) because I am not fit enough to join the groups yet,and I’m not going riding in below zero degrees at 5am. Still indoors on the spinning bike my toes go numb because of bad circulation.Actually last night my one foot went so numb I only had control over my foot with my ankle. Thick socks don’t work, but I have seen people recommend compression socks. Or would a shoe cover be a better bet ? Edit : I am 100% sure it’s because of bad circulation. What they call “winters voete”. I remember there was a time I would buy my sport shoes 2 sizes too big so it will fit even with layers of socks. (Funny enough, in the summer I need socks with cooling gel ????????♀️) Thanks in advance for advice
RobertWhitehead Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Just confirm your set-up is correct: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/Store/catalog/fitCalculatorBike.jsp#results If that's not an issue (as you mentioned - bad circulation) then I would go for the compression socks rather than the shoe cover
Allrounder Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I would also think it is something being compressed somewhere.
Andreas_187 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I had the same thing, moving your cleats even 1mm can fix this

bikebloke Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 when you ride an IDT you spend more time sitting on your ass and you dont stand/sit/shift your contact points like you would when actually riding on the road hence you arent relieving your pressure points so you get numb bitsgo buy some warm kit and go ride outside
RobertWhitehead Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 No problem - it's quite accurate - I've used the measurements on multiple bikes after getting a professional set-up done on two of the bikes. thanks for the link.

Karman de Lange Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Try loosen your shoes first .. lots of time people overtighten them and your feet swell as you get warm and make it worst Then if that don't help, get bikefit .. might be as others say your cleats to far forward, shoes to big (putting cleat to far forward) shoes to narrow, saddle to high (leaning to one side to compensate, making 1 foot dead(normally right foot)) .. etc etc etc
DieselnDust Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I would also think it is something being compressed somewhere. come on tell us what you mean
DieselnDust Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Does the spinning bike have a couch for a saddle?Can you post a pic please Demi
Ascension Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Winter is fine. Work is killing me. Stuck in the office/jail on a beautiful Cape winters day is just wrong.
