Shoes

[Carm]

I recently purchased a pair of Diadoro Geko MTB cycling shoes from Terry Cycling with the intention of using them on my Commuter Bike (toe clips) and Road bike (clip less) when I get one this spring. They told me this would be possible - however they came today and am wondering if I can use these shoes on a road bike. Any info would be much appreciated. Carmen

What kind of pedals on the road bike?

Carm -
Of course Snapdragon is right on target with her question about the pedals on your road bike... I use mountain bike shoes with all of my bikes, switched from road shoes & pedals years ago because I like to be able to walk when I get off of my bike without tripping on the cleats.

But that also means that the pedals that I put on my road bikes are really classified as mountain bike pedals. I use Speedplay Frog pedals because I like the free float I get with them.

Denise, do you know if the Speedplay Frogs can have one of those SPD platforms (for regular shoe pedalling) mounted on them? I know nothing about cyling shoes/pedals but want to start using them. My bianchi came with SPD clipless pedals, but I had them swappoed out (for now) with mountain bike toeclip pedals (with the clips pulled. They scare me.)

Carm,
I'm using the Geckos on my mountain bike and on one of my road bikes and they work very well. I have SPD pedals on those 2 bikes. They are definitely the way to go if you want to be able to walk into stores, be a tourist on tour rides, go into a restaurant, etc. without putting on cleat covers and walking with your toes in the air.
