Bike - Recumbent 15:00 [3]
shoes: Slipstream
Took the eggbeaters off and rode around with the platforms while waiting for Anna's bus. Much more relaxed riding with the platforms, especially on tight radius turns. Don't notice that I'm any slower than with the clipless. Also checked the derailleurs and it looks like I can easily drop a 24 tooth granny ring in place of the 30 now on there. That way I can continue to spin up steeper hills where my cadence now drops off. My non-climbing cadence is naturally around 85 rpm or so and my feet don't have any trouble staying on the pedals - so I may just opt to be an old curmudgeon and ride with platforms instead of joining the masses that insist clipless are the only way to go. But I will admit the platforms on the bike right now are kind of crappy, so I'll look around for a nicer pair.
Need to rig a decent way of mounting my zefal pump to the frame. all the normal frame angles that it might wedge into are occupied by cables. But riding with it sticking out of a pannier is a pain too...
