I was having knee pain and swelling in my right knee when cycling (especially during a session on the trainer). Icing after a ride was helping relieve the issue, but I couldn’t decide the cause. On Sunday, I noticed that my cleat on the right side appeared to have moved towards my toes. I adjusted the cleat backwards, not even moving it the width of a finger. The pain and swelling are gone.
It might be a metaphor for life, or it might just be a guy adjusting his cleats.
