So I think it's a matter of what you are accustomed to and proficient with. I see people struggling to get into clip-ins all the time, so I don't think it's that different. I still ride toeclips on my tandem. I like to wear normal shoes and toeclips are the best way to ride with what you brung, if you want to be attached to the pedals. The rest of the time, I do ride flat pedals because I don't think I am losing that much by not being attached to the pedals. Most of the time I am able to keep up with all but the fastest rando riders on the long distance rides I do. If I am not able to keep up with the medium pace group, the foot/pedal interface has never been the problem. It's usually not having had slept enough, eaten enough, drank enough, or something else going wrong with the engine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
