Day 039 - Clipless pedals

1-hour ride at RPE 6, including several jams at 7-8        Training via ActiveMail

RIDE 1 HOUR AT RPE 6, INCLUDING SEVERAL JAMS AT RPE 7-8: If your bike came with platform pedals (flat pedals that you step on), or pedals with toe clips and straps, consider investing in clipless pedals. Advantages: there aren't any straps to cut off circulation in your toes or clips to rub on the ends of your toes. Also, clipless pedals are easier to enter and exit, once you learn the technique. After a few minutes of practice clipping in and out in a parking lot or a grassy field, the motion will be automatic. Finally, clipless pedals are safer in the event of a crash. You'll come out without thinking so the bike won't bang into you during a fall.
