Why does your feet hurt when you ride a bike?

When it comes to the discomfort caused by cycling, the pain in the buttocks is undoubtedly the most common complaint, but do we often overlook the pain in our feet? Do we think it's just a side effect of long-term cycling?

Actually, that's not the case. Perhaps you need to understand why your feet hurt and how to prevent it!

Common reasons for foot pain when cycling:
Inappropriate footwear
The first thing to check is whether your cycling shoes fit properly. If the shoes are too tight, it can restrict blood circulation in the feet, leading to numbness or even a tingling sensation during cycling. If the shoes fit properly and you still experience pain, continue reading below.

Cleat position
The correct position of the cleats can make you feel as if they're not even there, just like stepping on a regular pedal. Placing the cleats too far forward or backward can cause different points of exertion or strain on the feet, leading to pain.

Socks
Socks may seem less important during cycling, but they are often overlooked factors that can cause discomfort. You might be wearing everyday cotton socks or running socks, each with different thickness and pressure points, which can have adverse effects during cycling.

Relief and prevention
The LVBU series e bike cycle kit plays an important role in relieving foot pain during cycling, mainly due to the following reasons:

2. Reduced pedaling force: With the presence of the electric assist fit ebike system, the force required by the cyclist while pedaling is relatively reduced, helping to lower the fatigue level of the foot muscles and alleviate foot pain issues.

3. Smooth riding experience: The well-designed LVBU series electric pedal assist kit provides a smooth and comfortable riding experience, reducing the impact on the foot joints and muscles, which helps to alleviate foot pain issues.

The LVBU micro power system equipped in this electric cycle converter kit has undergone more than 10 years of development and is relatively mature. It can be linked to a mobile app via Bluetooth, allowing riders to adjust cycling parameters, assist modes, and precise assistance levels, making it very convenient.
