Shin splints?
I got back from my bike ride a little while ago and my shins are killing me. Can you get shin splints from riding a bike, and if so, how long would it take to develop them after you start riding regularly? I love the workout I get from riding, and I like the peace and quiet. I'd hate to not be able to ride!
