It depends on the type of riding you do. If you're just riding around town or short trails, athletic shoes will be fine. If you're doing over 20 miles at a time, or riding for a good work-out, you'll find cycling shoes to be helpful. Cycling shoes have stiff soles to prevent the pedal from digging into your foot and can accommodate cleats to hold your foot on the pedal and improve power transfer.
