a visit to a not so LBS

[spokewench]

I lead women's rides here in town and on one such ride I looked down at the 6 girls that were riding with me and 5 out of 6 were riding with their heels up. It was interesting trying to convince them to try to change their habits!

I was just floored that many of the ladies were doing the same thing!

I've had to work on the heels-down habit, too. Something that helped me was that I read somewhere that while pedaling, you should imagine putting your foot down to scrape something off the bottom of your shoe--not the toe, but the mid-to-rear sole. This has really helped me to keep my heels down, not that they don't drift up occasionally, but I'm building the habit of keeping them down most of the time.
