Just to pile on and to address Lungimsam's original question:
- If the pedal is a long and broad platform (such as Thin Gripster or RMX
Sneaker Pedal), then the shoe and its sole rigidity matters very little.
- If the pedal has narrow/limited points of contact (such as the MKS

Amit,
I was in a similar situation last year. A friend wanted to buy a new bike;
his budget was about half of your friend's. He met me for a ride on two
occasions. He had an old mountain bike with the bars below the seat. As
we rode, he commented on my more upright riding position and how
I would ask the following
What kind of Triathlons do you do (Sprint, Ironman?)
What kind of bike do you have currently or did you have previously? what is
good or bad about that bike for you?
Will you ride it for anything but Triathlons?
Have you ever ridden a bike in that position (i.e super
Makes me think of a scene last night at the shop I work in.
A 75-year old customer (friend of the owners, apparently) decides he wants
to ride the entire RAGBRAI this year (7 day, ~450 mile supported social

He goes into a bike shop in Florida (where he winters) and manages to leave

Is this bike to be exclusively for triathlons and triathlon training?

Ron,
On the old Rovers to which I'm referring, the steel chassis we're painted, and
the steel body cappings were galvanized; the zinc coating was much closer to
aluminum and wouldn't suffer galvanic corrosion. But on locations where a
non-galvanized steel bracket was riveted to the aluminum

I like it... My saluki is getting recoated right now, flat, dark green and

flat finish paint jobs I've seen lately.

I've never thought about strengthening my feet but it certainly makes sense. I
know that strengthening my core and upper body helps my cycling, and the core
work especially has eliminated back pain so I don't know why you wouldn't get
similar benefits from trying to strengthen your feet. Also,
I agree that getting a good, full sized platform pedal is an essential
first step, regardless of whether you decide to sing hymns of holistic
harmony and a regimen at doctor deac's foot gym. Grin. (What a great line
