I don't use a bike for transportation, so I'm not in your league on that, but I did use a stationary bike for exercise (to replace the power walking I couldn't do anymore) - I didn't use any resistance cuz I knew that would be a problem, so I was basically just spinning the wheels, and it led directly to a HUGE flare-up of my condition, that 15 months later is not much better. This may be very unusual - my case has been pretty wierd and severe all along, and I may have a nerve entrapment problem, which might be what caused my problem, not the PF and biking. But, I would be really careful and if you feel your feet getting any worse at all, stop the biking for a while. I ignored my worsening feet, and am paying the price now. But, when I rode only 3 days a week, there was no problem - it was when I started doing it 45 minutes 6 days a week (I always have to over-do a good thing) that the trouble began! Good luck & happy pedaling!
