I know this was posted in 2006, but that is so helpfull torward dealing with my knee pain and periodic foot numbness. Will look for a less soft seat and try to stick to higher gears when not on hills.
True dat... If I cannot comfortably stay above 75 RPM, I know that I am pushing too big of a gear. Getting a computer w/ cadence helped.
