Can I use running shoes with caged pedals, or do I need to buy cycling shoes?
I would get a double sided big platform ala MTB Downhill/BMX pedal to use with running shoes,
if that is what you prefer to wear.
you will want a Smooth, harder sole on your shoes
if you wish to use a pedal with Toe Clips.
so you can slide the shoe in the strap loop.
Nowadays the specialty bike shoe marketplace is dominated
by the step on, klick in type shoe/pedal combo..
