Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.

The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

My gf has a pair of Shimano bike shoes and whilst she only rides wearing them on flats she does find them comfortable. She wanted bike shoes because they are have harder soles, but I'm trying to talk her into having SPD pedals (she's a bit scared she'll fall off though!)

mad4purple Jul 2007 5:37pm, 26 Jul 2007 14,186 posts	Quote Pin mad4purple I'm scared of falling off to, but hey ho, I've been using toe clips for a while so I have had to get used to them, and now don't like riding without. So which ones, the first link? Should I get used to them, and then upgrade to road shoes if I decide I want to be a proper cyclist?(not taking the pi55, seriously not sure which way to go)

JulesR Jul 2007 5:40pm, 26 Jul 2007 192 posts	Quote Pin JulesR Falls are mostly at zero mph and if you've been toe-clipping you'll be fine. It's just the embarrassment factor of lying in the road with the bike on top of you but hey that's clipped-in life
