Good morning all. Hope you all had a good Christmas?
I have always ridden with toe clips and straps on all my bikes. My wife bought me new cycling shoes for Christmas. They are very nice and comfortable off the bike, they are however a more bulky shoe and I am worried that I may have problems getting my foot out! I have loosened the straps and I think they will be ok but not 100% sure.
It has made me wonder if I would be better off getting a pair of clipless pedals? At 77 years young, the thought of falling off my bike is scaring me a little.
Any advice or thoughts would be most welcome. I have never tried clipless pedals but I would welcome any advice.
Many thanks and Happy New Year to all.
