Pain in back of right thigh
As title really, I've recently found that I get a cramp like pain up the back of my right thigh (possibly semtendinosus?) when seated on some long(ish) climbs which subsides when pedalling on flat.
I've recently swapped my bike, but the geometry is the same - wondering if seat/cleat position or something could be to blame?

Nice way to shirk responsibility for your mind-bogglingly stupid choice

Most cars that pass me are dangerous. I have submitted loads of video footage to the police and for what? Not even a reply.

The context was the increased number of reports of confirmed dangerous driving. What would decent drivers be getting reported to the police for?

The only medical advice you should ever listen to people from internet forums are 'go to the doctor' or 'get a bike fit'.
That's a pity, because I was going to say go to a sports physio, who will understand cycling better than a doctor, and understand physiology better than a bike fitter.
exactley the same,pedal flat and down hills pain eases, but only get it on days when done over 30 miles and the legs have got cold and wet, same thing this time last year as i cycled more often it went away
Find a good bike fitter, could be anything you mentioned, or simply overworking it. Have had this on long climbs, but it is gone in a few hours, so my doc says not tendon related, but she feels it was just the workload I was putting on it (30km @ 6%).
