It was something I experienced 40+ years ago in the early eighties when I started doing long distance touring rides. Was off the bike for weeks and getting up from seated and starting to walk. Once moving it eased.
Mostly stopped after I regeared the bike and went altogether when I got a Galaxy with proper touring gears.
The limp just became a habit....
