I thought I was the only one that got numb sometimes. Mostly my feet, though. It's definitely a circulation thing since I don't strap my shoes on that tight. This happens for both my spinning shoes and road biking shoes. I now get out of the saddle more on the long rides and workouts to alleviate the problem. This has helped. I never thought of the tensing and relaxing muscle aspect. I'll have to try to be more aware about that on future rides.
