What Causes Shin Pain After Rigorous Exercise?

I have started riding my bike to work- 50 minutes each way- steady pedalling I am noticing pain along my shins and top side of my ankle joints are still bothering me 24 hours after riding to and from work yesterday- 50 minutes of steady riding each way. The inner side of my knees were painful after the ride but this subsided overnight - is this shin pain I am hoping it is something that will subside as my muscles etc get used to this type of activity I have also joined a gym and use a tread mill for 30 minutes 2x per week. I prefer biking and hope to have that be my main cardiac exercise over the summer. what do you think??
