Peyton Asked:

I want to start training for a Tri next Summer. I have just (today) been given a light wieght racing bike. I haven't ridden a bike in over twenty five years. I have to start somewhere. Any advice will be gratefully received.

Reply:

From where you are starting, to where you want to go, start without the shoes until you are confident in your riding and stopping skills. Then you must make the leap to be competitive and comfortable in performing well, riding hard, and going the distance.

Wearing cycling shoes that clip you in is like learning to ride a bike. Takes practice, and won't be forgotten once mastered.

And remember to have a great time!
