High Heels and cycling

[Nigelnaturist]

I try not to infringe copyright but I couldn't resist this

Does anyone actually ride in high heels. I wonder if they do any spd's

 

[summerdays]

I see a lady regularly cycling in heels, and I usually overtake he on the ring road going towards UWE. Probably not as high as those.

Pretty cool that. Me, I don't cycle in high heels but if they make them in SPDs I'd give it a try.

I have ridden in the odd skirt or two, but never thought about heels, a SPD style would be interesting to try and walk in and people complain about walking in SPD-SL's, wonder which would be more awkward.

@summerdays just the one lady, I can't say I ever have, but then I don't ride at regular commute times (not saying your lady does) so there would be less opportunity I guess.

I'm not saying I haven't ever seen others but rarely, whereas this lady and I usually commute about the same time. But I would say I see more electric bikes or Bromptons daily than heels.

I cycle in a pair of wedge boots occasionally in wintertime but they completely throw my saddle position out (probably an inch or inch and a half heel - Fly boots).

High heeled cycling ok, but the high heels and helmet combo is a fringe activity IMV.

Never thought about that.

You see it a lot in Italy. Also on Vespas which is very nice as well.

There are SPD high heels: https://www.visualnews.com/2013/10/10/bringing-sexy-back-biking-high-heeled-biking-shoes/

@steveindenmark Vespas I can sort of understand though i guess the brake must be a bit awkward, @Globalti I want a pair of each but unlikely in my size nor a price I could afford, but thanks for the link.
