Fun with clips

Some advice from a cyclist and BMX dad, while shopping be sure to check out BMX stores online. BMXers tend to be younger and have less cash so equipment cost tend to be less. And while on the subject of clips, never clip into a Time pedal while wearing SPD clips. You will not get out and yes the kids have done this.

Man things have changed, my BMX bikes and components cost each cost well over 1k....but that was a long, long time ago.

As peddles go, in my day BMX was a pair of Vans and Hutch Bear Trap peddles (No Clips) later on I favored the SPD/Shimano Dura-Ace over Time for my Road and Mountain Bikes. My favorite road shoes were Carnac and Shimano for the Mountain Bike.

Another good place to look is pricepoint.comfor good deals on shoes and pedals combos or seperates. It changes there almost every day so sign up for email alerts or check back often.

Its what I tell everybody who wants to get into any aspect of biking but really don't know anything at all about biking:
Go to the local bike shops near your home and work. Just pick their brain, tell them what you want and why you want it. Then compare them on quantity of products, quality of products, price, service and overall knowledge of cycling... You'll get better equipment that way then asking people online who you might not even know.
