Clips are amazing. They really help you pedal more efficiently. It's very likely you will fall once are twice while using them. My clips are very, too, loose and I still fell once. It comes with the territory. You might want to try e-bay for some reasonable cycling clothes. Also, check out the discounts you get through ALC! ALC has an expo sometime before the ride where you can get gear for cheap. You may also want to talk to your cyclist rep and ask for some local leads. I'm sure there are other riders that have some extra gear! So glad you're doing it! Yes! Clips are amazing. They really help you pedal more efficiently.

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:26:32 +0000 http://bicyclebondage.com/?p=553#comment-53 Do you use those clip things on the pedals? Like everyone else, I have a fear of falling over cause of feet/pedal bondage. Also, I've been looking for cycling clothes at thrift stores but not having much luck. Did you find any websites that are reasonable? Prices in the stores are rediculous! BTW - Thanks for answering my last comment. :o) Do you use those clip things on the pedals? Like everyone else, I have a fear of falling over cause of feet/pedal bondage.

I owe them a dedicated post update review. I have tons of opinions on leg warmers. I have <a href="http://www.sugoi.com/usa/eng/Products/Bike/Women/Details/1535-99940U-MidZero-Leg-Warmer" rel="nofollow">Sugoi leg warmers</a> with their "signature leg grip" which is great for short rides but can cause some serious chafing after longer rides. I still use them though. Meh. I do have a pair of <a href="http://store.sheilamoon.com/product_info.php?cPath=11_13&products_id=96" rel="nofollow">Sheila Moon</a> knee warmers that I really like that don't chafe the same way that the Sugoi ones do. Riding a lot in San Francisco, leg warmers are usually great. I took both my leg warmers and knee warmers on the ride and started using my knee warmers on hotter days. I was usually cold in the evenings and mornings at camp, but our ride was generally really warm. We rode just in time for a heat wave. The pStyle is amazing.

I noticed you're wearing long pants. Were you ever cold? I’ve been wondering about the pStyle since the day you mentioned it. I am going to order one for sure. I noticed you’re wearing long pants.
