Hi all,

I am really starting to get serious about this whole biking for fitness thing but I also want to be able to cover some distance, too. I'm looking at getting some double sided pedals for my hybrid (Trek 7.5 FX) and wanted to get everyone's take.

I plan to ride 5 times a week or so, but not always long distances (<10) so I'm thinking sometimes I'll clip in and other times I'll just wear my tennis shoes. I've never ridden with clipless pedals so this is an experiment as much as anything.

Would something like this suffice... ?

Also, what type of shoes does everyone recommend for someone looking to ride about 15-20 miles on a hybrid? What are other improvements that could be done to help me ride longer/farther (other than just riding regularly)?

As a side note, I've been 74 miles in the last 9 days and coupled with a new diet I feel great!!! I'm even down a few lbs!

Thanks in advance,

Adam B Hicks
