Hi readers! Are you still out there? I had been sick for a few days! I also picked up my bike with clipless pedals and it's super awesome. I took on some hills yesterday and dominated them with my quad powers! If you're a cyclist and on the fence about switching your pedals, I highly recommend doing so and going to a bike shop that will listen and help you out. Van's Bicycle center did that for me! I went with the Shimano pedals with clips and also normal pedals so I can choose to pedal around town with my son or clip in for some long powerful rides. The guys are Van's put me in some cool Bontrager Vellas as they are double clip and the clip is protected by the shoe so when I step off the bike, I have more traction. I went with Velcro for quicker transitions. The clip tension is perfect and I am adapting pretty quick! So far I have only fallen once! Here's to many more powerful miles as I gear up for Ironman 70.3 in 33 days!!
