Two years ago (and about 6 months after I became cycling junkie), I developed a super painful bunion on my right foot. I first noticed the pain while cycling, then felt it while walking. It became excruciatingly panful. he podiatrist did x-rays and pushed surgery. I did some internet surgery and learned that the surgery results were mixed at best. I started treating it medically with toe pads, compound W to soften the corns, trimming off the dead skin.

Now I am pain free and cycling 150 miles a week--as long as I stick to the routine.
