Your style of riding sounds fantastic. Nothing wrong with that.

I would say one thing about your footwear though. My only concern would be a safety concern. If something happens, regular shoes may help keep you from suffering road rash, or worse, getting your foot caught and lacerated in some way.

Please be careful. Injuries to the foot itself can be worse in the long run than road rash to the legs.

Have fun, but stay healthy to have that fun.
