I can barely drive in heavy traffic anymore. Since I've gone nearly car free two years ago my clutch leg is so out of shape I get sewing machine leg in stop-and-go traffic.

Just one downside to going car free.

do you have toe straps or clipless clutch? try adjusting your seat until you find the perfect fit

I thought it was when you leg shook uncontrollably due to over-exerted muscles. Like when you're done weight lifting.
