Cycling in Waterloo Region

[clasher]

I don't buy into the idea of pulling up. The only reason I like clipless is because it keeps my feet from sliding off in heavy rains. I bashed my shin up pretty good in the middle of a night on a 400K when I kept sliding off the pedals. This article makes some good points in favour of flats. I ride flats around town and when I mountain bike. My city bike is set up with a low gear, 36x16, so I get a lot of spinning practise in, and I generally try to keep my cadence on the road around 90 instead of mashing around in higher gears... saves my knees, mostly, but apparently it's more efficient too.
