Hi Shiara,
good to know that cycling doesn't exacerbate your plantar fasciitis.
I've used cycling as my exclusive mode of transportation throughout my life as well and have done many long cycling tours. I'm like you...when I got PF I wasn't able to put my feet down at all and could get to the grocery store on my bike (but not go in!). I am now able to get into the store for a brief amount of time. The reason I asked if pedaling could exacerbate the problem is because a marathon runner told me that cycling was the worst thing for his plantar fasciitis. Personally I think my bike is my only source of freedom!
Thanks for the imput. Do you use cycling shoes?
