  1. I've had trouble with plantar fasciitis on the left for a couple of
    years; it comes and goes, mostly with hiking. This last summer I parked
    the car and commuted on a bike, 17 miles a day 5 days/week for ~3
    months. All that exercise didn't help the fasciitis, but then it didn't
    hurt either; if anything the weight loss (20 lbs) helped a bit, I
    think. I say go for it, and you'll find out.

  2. I experienced this condition when I first started logging a lot of
    miles but was still wearing tennis shoes. Cycling shoes definitely
    helped but I got complete relief when my chiroprator applied ultrasound
    therapy. After about 3 treatments I have not had any additional
    problems in more than 6 years. I can wear any type of shoes and don't
    mess with orthotics anymore.
