I agree with Glenn...
also problematic are ankle compression sites.
I have a bad left ankle, due to a surgery when I was 12 for a tumor, and then a terrible spider bite on it which swelled and hurt for over 3mos, and also a steroid injection into it.
Whenever I flex it too much...too often, it flares and that foot really hurts. I can only do 5min at a time on a recumbent bike, and have to rest. No more than 20 min total! (or I will pay a price).
I think you can get overuse in the ankles like you do in the hand, because of that tight ligament that holds it together. Just the slightest bit of pressure or fluid retention, and then you can have nerve compression.
Whenever I see a biker show up here with various symptoms, I have to wonder...bikes can be so problematic for some people.
