Hmmm.... Sounds kinda like shin splints, except that they typically occur as a result of impact or sudden changes in direction - not really the kind of movements you associate with cycling. On your exercise bike, are you seated upright or is it a "recumbent" model where you're almost lying on your back? I'm wondering if there's a difference in foot position or in how your feet are held on the exercise bike that may be causing you to pull with your toes or to pedal in a more toes-down position, either of which might put different stresses on the muscles in the front of your legs. Just a wild guess. Good luck.

However, if I use it for more than 15 minutes or pedal other than slowly, I get shooting pains up the front of my legs. This doesn't happen riding my trike outside. I do know about warming up - any ideas ?
