A year or two ago we bought a Hase Pino, and to date it has mostly been used with my daughter on the front. Now she has finally graduated to her own bike for longer rides, and my husband and I are getting the chance to use the Pino for us! So far I have just worn normal shoes (I'm on the front) but I think it's not very efficient - I sort of have to concentrate to keep my feet on the pedals after a while, and I think I'm not pushing as hard as I might be.
So what's the best thing on the front pedals, do you think? Cleats? I have mountain-bike-style shoes with cleats that I use on my normal bike. Or is some sort of other clip best? Does it make much difference or do I just need to adapt?
I'm completely new at recumbent pedalling so advice is appreciated.
