Hi,

Normally I ride around Chicago, pretty much flat terrain. Recently I went up to the north country, mainly north Minnesota where it was hilly. I took my single speed 46/18 and was able to ride with no problem on most of the hilly streets I was on but a few long stretches had me thinking of clips to help out.

I met a guy with shoes that had the clip thing recessed, and the shoes could be used for either regular pedaling (Chicago) or clip in for hilly riding. I like the flexibility of this method as well as being able to walk in that type of shoe.

Anyone using this method? I'm looking for some guidance- how well does it work, brands that work better than others...

thanks,
