Any cyclists here?

Old school toeclips & straps are still available (ebay) cheaply and give the same effect as clip-in type pedals but without the expense,if you don't want to shell out initially. Cadence is important - spinning a low gear till you have to change up is better than heaving on a high gear that you struggle to turn. Cycling shoes have a stiffened sole that doesn't flex like normal trainers so much more energy efficient. German supermarkets based here (Lidl & Aldi) often stock decent but cheap cycling shoes. Keep up the good work & all the best.

I love my new bike very much

Recently did Carlisle to Preston on my bike - (San Remo special) 117miles (added an extra 20miles to beat my previous best) including Shap summit (1500 feet of ascent in 1 climb) in just under 8hrs.
Averaged 23km/h. Not bad for an old git.

Remember Rule 5

Do you use little training wheels or did mummy buy you a tricicle? Good luck, and keep those bandaids handy

There is a pretty massive difference between toeclips and using SPD's with proper cycling shoes. If you don't find that then you are doing it wrong.
