From what I understand and experience, dystonia is not uncommon in all stages of PD. For some (like me) it was an early calling card for PD, and I only experienced it in my foot during action like running or walking. I have had symptoms for a least seven years, and just this year, I have developed a little more dystonia that may extend to my lower right leg and happens when I wake up, butt not every morning.
My dystonia is less painful than it used to be but more unexpected. I had never thought of powering through while cycling. May give that a try too.
