Heels?
Hmmm, I don't pedal my bike with the heels on the pedal. I don't teach spinning classes, so I'm not as a good a resource as HanGrrl, but I always thought the balls of the feet did spinning just like they do biking. Do spinning shoes have cleats in the heels?
If you are honestly pedalling with your heels, then I guess your forefoot bones are safe.
