Flat Pedal Revolution

[thekarens]

I ride with a couple of people who consistently lecture me about how much faster I'd climb on my mtb if I went clipless, even as I get well ahead of them on a climb. Frankly, I'm less interested in speed and WAY more interested in having fun and staying safe. Plus, my red Straightlines look super cool on my bike!

Plus one Indy, we ride with people that I think are fantastic, but constantly tell me how I'll eventually move to clipless and I'll be a much better rider. Now with the road bike I have gone clipless and am glad I have, but Hell will freeze over before I do it on my mtb. I love my mtb and enjoy the comfort I have on it. There's no earthly reason why I should ever switch from my sticky shoes and flat pedals. I've never even gotten shinburger (knock on wood.)
