Hello,

I am helping my daughter buy a road bike. Her budget is $400. She rides a 54cm frame. She will be commuting from Milwaukie to PSU, so she wants a faster bike than a regular commuter stlye bike. If any one has a used road bike in good shape that needs a good home, give us an email. Or call. 503-744-0571 / 503-929-3552

Thank you

I'm sure there will be a hue and cry from many at my suggestion for something off-the-shelf, but you might also consider ALINE insoles. They have a measurement system to establish longitudinal arch placement and have multiple suspension zones (including under the fifth metatarsal tuberosity), which seem to really relieve pressure points within low-volume cycling shoes. I know Cyclepath stocks them and fits them. They are a medium density plastic, so I find that they're more comfortable after about 15 minutes of warmup but they've been great in my limited use the last 1.5 seasons. FWIW, I use custom orthotics daily including in my running shoes for multiple 1/2 and a couple full marathons but haven't found that necessary with my cycling shoes.
Cheers,
Ian Penner

I've been experiencing foot hotspots and numbness while riding, and it's time to get it taken care of. Anyone out there know a good bike fit specialist in the greater Portland area who can also do bike shoe orthotics? Based on my running shoe experiences, I'm guessing the solution will be a little of both.

Thanks,
