Hi Deacon,
You should be aware that many antacids--both prescription and over the
counter--contain aluminum hydroxide, as per:
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601013.html
So, if you take a teaspoon of Maalox you've just ingested more
aluminum than you would get by riding on aluminum bicycle pedals.
If you don't get a rash or break out after riding on your aluminum
pedals, then you're probably ok. However, I sympathize with your
metal toxicity issues.

/While the harmful health effects of carbon monoxide, nicotine, tar,
irritants and other noxious gases that are present in tobacco smoke are
well known, *those due to heavy metals and other toxic mineral elements
in tobacco smoke are not sufficiently emphasized.* Tobacco smoking
influences the concentrations of several elements in some organs. This
review summarizes the known effects of some trace elements and other
biochemically important elements (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ni,
Po-210, Se, and Zn) which are linked with smoking. Cigarette smoking may
be a substantial source of intake of these hazardous elements not only
to the smoker but also, through passive smoking, to nonsmokers. The
adverse health effects of these toxic elements on the fetus through
maternal smoking, and on infants through parental smoking, are of
special concern.//

Hell of a lot more likely to get that heavy metal poisoning, if indeed
that's what it is, from smoking than from riding aluminum pedals
barefoot, I'd say.
