This is especially interesting to me...my toes get so bad that as I add on more miles as the weather improves, the toenail on both of my fourth toes actually falls off. Talk about numbness! I ride simple platform, no clips or cages, and I take care to buy the right size shoes and socks. My saddle is a Terry Raven and I love it-- no numbness there.
I have been considering trying cages for the first time but I'm nervous about being "attached to the bike". I realize practice will help with this, though.
Any advice?
