Well i put these off for years. I did 6 triathlons, a 450 mile bike tour, a mountain biking trip, and approximately 10,000 miles of pedaling without investing in these.
They aren't cheap.
New shoes start at about $70.
I wanted Tri specific ones that were right for me so I wound up spending $119 on a pair of LG's.
That is about $20 more than a pair of running shoes. It will long outlast a running shoe. I am hoping to get 5 or more years out of them. Only about a third of my miles are on my racing bike.
I go through 3 pairs of running shoes per year at nearly $100 apiece. So in 5 years I spend $1500 on running shoes (plus a pair or 2 of racing flats). Comparatively the biking shoes are a good deal.
I have used them twice now. I am getting used to clipping in and out. I think they are making me faster.
In this blog I want to share my fitness tips and how to fit fitness in your schedule. I also will share many things you can do for fun (mostly cheap or free)
