Re: Am I crazy forwanting to do this?

Ha most def don’t race. Just a weekend rider on trails. TX has no elevation, no crazy DH or anything. Just riding, enjoying the scenery etc.

I guess more what I am asking for is input from anyone who has switched from platform or back and forth etc.

Also when I ride, I wear old tennis shoes…If I invested in some shoes that are "meant" for mtn biking, would this help?

When I first started riding clipped, I was curling my toes in my shoes and had tons of toe-in (pointing feet downward) because I was so used to riding my platform pedals and trying to hold on.

My feet slip off a lot. That is my main concern, not so much an efficiency argument or perspective of it. And are there other options besides clip pedals that would remedy this problem?

Thanks for the input and the links, I’ll check them out.
