Evening all ...
Well had my 1st road bike ( Giant Defy Advanced 2 ) for just coming up to 6 weeks now , my Strava dashboard is showing 650 miles to date I'm averaging 17-19 mph on most of my rides that range from midweek rides 20-25 miles & more at the weekends 45-65 miles .
I'm still cycling with flat pedals one side , cleats the other , I have touring cycling shoes but not fitted the cleats in yet .
The bikes going back to the Giant store on Saturday for its first service & when I purchased it we agreed that we'd fit me up with the cleats & I'd have a go on the trainer clipped in , make sure that I'm comfortable with feet attached to the pedals & go from there .
What can I expect from riding clipped in as apposed to how I'm riding now ? Any advice for a newbie riding clipped in for the first few times , I'm a little apprehensive about it but feel it's a step that I want to take to get a bit more out of me / bike , any advice really appreciated .
