Old School Hero
So my first extended ride with toe clips and straps. Had the right strap reasonably tight and the left a bit looser for emergencies and ease of entry at roundabouts etc (didn't help any though).
Out of the saddle on a climb and my left foot slipped out, which kippered things a bit as I couldn't restart and had to push the rest of the way.
As I haven't got a spare £5k lying around for the real thing I have to ride in trainers of a vaguely retro stylee. The sole is a bit soft and floppy which doesn't help at all. Also I only found out yesterday that back in the day one had cleaty things with a slot to keep secure on platforms... and of course you're not going to affix those to trainers.
So I guess I have to take it all on the chin.
(Has anyone ever successfully put some kind of rigid inner sole into shoes to make them more "efficient"?)
Meh :x
