Never had any discomfort, though I was just a teenager. Feet got cold in the winter though, all that metal. But even then, I knew not to hammer the pedals. That's what the grooves and straps are for. I was turbine man, felt like I could do a power wheelie. It's great to be young or perhaps I should say, to have been young.
