Im on a medium bike Ive got overlap issues as well. It stems primarily from the overall wheelbase and head tube angle. Typical is less than 100cm wheelbase you might have some toe overlap.
its really only an issue when Im turning aroun180 degrees on the road. Ive learned to keep my outside foot on the down stroke when turning. Its not a problem most of the time.
Cheers mate. I didn't encounter the issue once on my ride today. As you mentioned, it's a matter of foot positioning so that the foot opposite to the turning side is not close to the front wheel. I think I'll get used to it eventually.
Being vertically challenged, I have a small framed bike so that loses me an inch or two horizontally I guess, and makes the front wheel slightly closer to the pedals.
