Get the kids involved? My oldest was 8 when she did her first run/bike/run and got third overall, a 14 and 15 year old both beat her but most of the younger kids were on fairly cheap bikes. So she...

Big clipless fan, but the people posting here have made flats like the Stamp pedals sound like they're a good idea.

Again, just be sure to do some rides using your running shoes to make sure that...

I don't do triathlons, but I've put the Race Face Ride on all my bikes, and I am very impressed with them. Just regular shoes, they give good grip to your shoes, much better than say the old Wellgo...

Beyond the good advice above, several of the women I ride with ride a Selle Italia Diva. If you see one at a bike shop, you might try sitting on it, see what it feels like.

I agree with the Stamp-1 pedals, they are quality, light and very reasonably priced. More and more there is a lot of info and research out there showing that clipless pedals are a waste of time and...

I'm guessing you plan to compete in "a good number of triathlons" in the coming years. In that case, the investment in a professional bike fitting will pay hefty dividends, especially if you are on...

I have these on both of my bikes. They work great. I never think about my shoes, feet or pedals when riding. And I ride I shoes I can run in (Lem’s), though I actually run in much more...

I wouldn't recommend any cheap pedals or Jeff Bezos knockoffs. I would recommend Crank Bros Stamp Pedals. They all have decent bearings and bushings the 1s give you a thermoplastic pedal and the 7s...

Per my post above, look up "Venzo dual function platform" on Amazon.

And make sure to post over in the triathlon section as well. We need to get that section moving!

I have some Race Face Chesters on one of my bikes and they’re a great deal for the money. For a sprint tri, I’d probably use them anyway just to eliminate a shoe change.

I have some rock bros extra large pedals (nylon composite, $25) and I like them. I don't think they have ball bearings, so they're not going to last forever, but they still spin freely. The traction...

I think blaming your saddle might be putting the cart before the horse. I would suggest finding a bike shop that provides a detailed fit. These usually cost around $200 and a good fitter will spend...
