OOH my second thread of the day :)
I'd LOVE some pointers!
I have bitten the bullet and with good guidance I've bought an endurance bike and will start heading out with a group that trains on weekends. WHOOHOO!
Now the hard bit starts. Lordy help me - - -
Pedals & cleats - should I get mountain cleats as they fit into the bikes in my spin class? Or is that a no no on your nice road bike?
I'm looking on wiggle for shorts, and the price band is wide, what do I look out for and what is a good comfortable brand? (don't mind spending a bit of money)
Same for helmet?
And socks, do I need particular socks?
My biggest mental blocker right now is getting used to cleats.
Anything else I should be aware of, but may not even think of to ask?!
Also - and I asked this on another thread and got nowhere really with an answer - are cycling shorts designed to be worn with underwear or not?
Thank you!!
