    Do a search on "hotfoot," up in the search-doodle thingy you get if you click on the word third from the right in the top frame.

    There is a wealth of threads on exactly this problem. I don't know how to post the list that comes up, only how to post individual threads. (a bit computer illiterate, but I get by) This is the longest one, and probably a good place to start: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=35077

    The general idea is that there is too much pressure in the forefoot, which compresses the nerves and that causes numbness.

    Your task is to figure out what is causing the pressure (swelling feet, shoes too tight, pedal contact area, dropped met head, unsupported met "arch", posture, pedalling technique, and so on and on) and there are lots to choose from!
