Thinking of riding flats at my next cx race and glad i found this post. I'm gonna go for it.

It's not too hard to get used to riding cx clipless, but I liked not having to think about it. <br /><br />ScottWileydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318247350407124306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020165150399149989.post-76468735895268619312013-10-03T08:59:37.940-07:002013-10-03T08:59:37.940-07:001st CX race this Saturday and I am still debating ...1st CX race this Saturday and I am still debating whether to ride flat pedals or my egg-beaters. A bit stressed by the thought of clipping/unclipping and don't want not to have fun because of that. Reading this, I think I'll go with flats and just enjoy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102131395104570918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020165150399149989.post-69694970077008511002012-09-26T19:11:16.945-07:002012-09-26T19:11:16.945-07:00thanks, I'm going to try that. I get a little...thanks, I'm going to try that. I get a little nervous sometimes with people watching which only makes it worse so maybe I'll practice in the backyard or Riverside. But I have been thinking of practicing mounts and dismounts riding to and from work. And bunny hopping curbs.Wileydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318247350407124306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020165150399149989.post-64431421746524789852012-09-26T18:56:24.570-07:002012-09-26T18:56:24.570-07:00Scott,
It's a sport you can take as seriously...Scott,<br /><br />It's a sport you can take as seriously as you want to. Enjoy.<br /><br />I practiced dismounting and mounting at home in slow motion. My neighbors may have been wondering why I kept riding slowly back and forth in front of the house getting off and on my bike--they already think I'm nuts for running barefoot--but who cares? I got the technique down and on race day I was smooth and fast going through the barriers. (Yeah, don't ask about the rest of the course.) Even John commented on how smooth I was. You might give the slo-mo practice a try.Hank Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243840232233423724noreply@blogger.com
