Grant Peterson's Shoes Ruse

[uforgot]

I guess I was just sort of surprised by it. Maybe I need to go read more of his articles, as you guys have probably already read them. I know there is the clipless vs non-clipless debate, and I do both, depends on the bike and what I'm doing. Now the stiff sole part was the surprise. I don't think I've ever heard that it doesn't make any difference. I've always heard otherwise, but then again, I have never even been close to an expert in cycling. Is there a raging debate somewhere over stiff shoes vs anything else?

Edit: Never mind. I missed the line about needing a stiff sole for a peddle as big as a soup spoon. It's regular pedals he thinks you don't need one for. No kidding. I'm through asking dumb questions now!

My folding bike has half platform / half SPD pedals, I often just use the platforms when I am traveling as I don't always have room for the bike shoes. The only place I really miss the clipless is on steep climbs.

I'll even ride it wearing heels.
