Another long-term Birk wearer, 45+ years back when they were seen at Grateful Dead concerts more than anywhere else. I have long, narrow, low-volume feet with little padding and a tendency for plantar fascitis. I wear size 46 narrow Arizonas and Bostons at home and around town, and I've been hoarding a few pairs of a discontinued model, Gary, for office wear. I've also got a few par of Arizonas in whatever the synthetic rubbery material is for home and beach. Very comfy. I've never tried them riding, I grew up with cleats and 95% of the time I ride with clip-ins. FWIW they also sell insoles, my wife uses them successfully in place of her orthotics.
