Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

I realised I can opt for touring or mtb pedals/cleat. I suppose I should get touring type? What's so compelling about mtb pedal/cleat as compared to touring? Touring type is more versatile with flat on one side and cleat on the other.

It's not that hard to clip out. Get used to it first. Now i never forget to unclip. Even on flat pedals, my legs automatically twist to unclip when I need to get off. Lol

Super thick haze sia.

can train with n95 mask, the added restriction of air flow is machiam high altitude training

Actually one of my feet is outward pointing/slanting. If I use spd, will I get injury to my ankle or knee?

You can adjust the angle of the cleat.

You can adjust the angle of the cleat.

So I can slant it outward? Thanks. That's a big concern for me

unlike saddle which needs to be fitted on your bike to test, getting a cycling shoes is like buying any shoes, u are allowed to test fit and walk around to feel the fit. But of cos if you thinking of testing it thru riding, that is a different story

I think he meant testing of the cleat.
