Touring-bike conversion, should I get the fancy shoes or change to drop bars first?
It's a general commuter bike, and I ride just about everywhere. I've just got it set up for touring, and yeah, I have a camping trip in a few days. I'm trying out the toe clips with straps that I picked up for $7, and they're not bad, once I figured out how to get my feet into them. Good for keeping my feet in the best place on the pedal. I'm looking at either getting clipless pedals or changing from flat bars to drop bars...probably both eventually. But which should I do first? I'm looking at what would give me the most gain in efficiency and help with distance.
