Thanks, I'm trying this to start with, it works pretty well, and im still able to get out them when I have to.
and they are tight enough to be of benefit when going up hills. I think Ill leave the clothes line trick until a little later.
I dont mind going up Watt street (Newcastle to Bar beach via king edward park). Mainly because I love the fast descent.
Going back on the back streets, to practice with the toe clips
