I'm totally gonna look just like this, except on a road race bike, and I'll be clipped in, and I'll be more sideways and more in a tumbling situation.
I finally succumbed to the peer pressure (and by my peers I mean, JulzHOLLA! She has a way of convincing me - like that time I was totally against reading those stupid Twilight books and then a week later, read them all.) Anyways, I gave in to the pressure and bought spinning shoes. I swore I wouldn't do it. I'm against swim hats (caps) too, but bet I'm sporting one by the beginning of next triathlon season.
So I got spinning shoes. Or maybe they are cycling shoes. I call them clippy-do-shoes. Because they clip into your bike. Let me reiterate that - the shoes clip INTO THE BIKE. I will be attached to my bike. I'm deathly afraid of that concept. Maybe I should call them "I'm gonna fall on my butt what the hell did I attach myself to this thing for anyways shoes."
I should never be attached to the bike, or "clipped in", ever! This is going to be bad. But atleast my feet won't hurt or feel like they are breaking in half when I go flopping over and break a hip. So that's good right?
My only saving grace is that I don't have a road race bike to clip onto right now. We're waiting for a big sale at the bike store. So, until then, I can use these bad boys in spin class, and practice clipping in there. If I fall off a spin bike....oh God. It's possible. Uggh.
These darn shoes better cut my time in half. Supposedly they'll make me pedal with greater ease. I guess that doesn't matter how easy I can pedal if I'm laid out on asphalt.
Off to a spin class. That's how I roll. Bahahah, get it? that's how I roll....and I'm going to spin class!?
I always learn something new
