    Iv recently started clcling to work (bout 16 mile round trip) and I started getting like an electric shock in the front of my right thigh. This only happened bout 3-4 times but now my leg is kinda numb and when I touch it I get pins and needles.

    Any thoughts?

    Likely a nerve trapped on bike.

    I used to get something similar with sciatic nerve when rowing.

    Buy a better saddle or padded shorts - the latter is probably the cheaper and better first alternative.
