It's going to make you faster and save wear and tear on your legs. As for the gears dang it took me a while, it's so different than a MB! I love reading about your first rides, brings back great memories.Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05832134390402892339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-76529833146672197042012-02-29T16:34:22.708-05:002012-02-29T16:34:22.708-05:00Like you say, the clearance could well improve if ...Like you say, the clearance could well improve if you start using clipless shoes and pedals..When using flat pedals most people seem to have their feet to far forward.<br>I would certainly try clipless before chopping your toes off..Ha...Ha<br>-TrevorTrevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-20359417719799425602012-02-29T14:25:45.157-05:002012-02-29T14:25:45.157-05:00Thank you! :)Thank you! :)Melanie Suzannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540747770586922326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-152107357756726302012-02-29T14:25:29.458-05:002012-02-29T14:25:29.458-05:00Heh.

I'm not wild about toes, but they do help with balance. ;)<br><br>I do drop my outside foot when I'm at speed and I tend to lean into turns rather than steer into them. It's when I pedal slowly -- about the speed of a medium walk -- that I notice my toe hitting the wheel when I turn the steering wheel. Also, I haven't started using clipless shoes or pedals yet, so it could just be that my feet are in the wrong position on the flat pedals.Melanie Suzannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02540747770586922326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-54617770176747833272012-02-29T14:01:33.765-05:002012-02-29T14:01:33.765-05:00Don't you drop your outside foot when you corn...Don't you drop your outside foot when you corner?
