The first bike I bought for myself was a mid 80’s Schwinn Sierra and I rode that to commute to work and school. Once I added a road bike (Nishiki Prestige) to that I started reading cycling magazines and learned that the flat pedals I had been using since I started riding weren’t the way to go. So
One more plug for Ben's. I've purchased a few different Carradice items
from them in the past. Just a few weeks ago I ordered a Nitto M-12 rack

I have on the bike (Nitto specifies that they are for canti brakes). I

clips and straps with or without cleats, LOOK type clipless, SPD clipless,
and occasional dip into simple platforms with pins, I've finally
I have SPD mountain pedals on my road bike and tandem. They're very
important for the tandem, because so much communication happens through the
pedals. They're less essential for the road bike. I have flat pedals on my
main (commuter) bike, but bought flat cycling shoes for my rides because
First entry in new Blahg. And no, he doesn't; he reports someone's

many don't; and of the former, how many use toe clips and how many use
clipless systems -- and what kind.
I'll start: I rode fast

constructed with a sleeve that the 'tombstone loop' on the rack slips up
into - it's a fairly snug fit. The underside of the bag is then secured to
the rack with velcro straps. It was perfectly stable on its maiden voyage,

Wow it looks great. I didn’t even see the fenders until you pointed them

haven’t thought of taking my Platy off road, but perhaps I will now.
