Pedals/cycle shoes

I like BMX platform pedals for shorter rides. You can wear multi-surface shoes with them and in a technical situation you can bail in a jiffy if you need to.

I have been looking at shoes and clips and cages and the problem is that there are too many choices! LOL!

I took off the cages that came with my bike only to realize they were size XS and I wear a size 9 shoe. They looked small, but without glasses I couldn't see the "XS". <grin>

Sun n Ski has a great sale on cycle shoes. They are on clearance with an extra 20% off on top of that. The men's shoes were a bit roomy on me and they didn't have women's in my size. I think today I will go to Bike Mart to see what they have. I don't mind spending money on a nice pair, I really want to make sure I love what I buy.

Those commuter sandals are way cute!

Have a great day!

I too love my toe clips (cages). I have never had a problem starting, stopping or getting my feet in or out. I feel like I have much better control and more power especially when climbing. I bought an inexpensive pair of cycling shoes that offer a nice stiff sole and great support. Someday I may attach cleats and try clipless but I too fear the unknown of riding clipped in.
