I've been experimenting with flat pedals on my drop-bar bike. yesterday I rode to and from work with flat pedals and stiff-solde riding shoes. The stiffness was okay, but the sole didn't really grip the BMX pedal very well.
Today I rode with flat pedals and my BMX shoes. I had a lovely ride into town with Sweetie, where we took in the farmers market and enjoyed the sunshine before I rode back over the river and went to work. It felt perfect, fine, no problems. I can imagine that my feet MIGHT hurt on a long ride but that's probably the case in ANY shoe I'd wear. (Possible proof that people weren't really meant to ride epicly-long distance on a regular basis? You decide.)
So Sunday I will go full-bore tourist: Touring shorts, short-sleeved seersucker shirt, and my BMX sneakers.
I will look rather odd against a backdrop of lycra but I'm cool with that. Nice to have it all dialed in, though.
