not tried it, but I like the idea. For some reason, probably because it seems harder, and more like you are doing the work than the bike, I imagine it can be quite rewarding. Quite a lot of people seem to do it, cycle messengers, etc. So if you do, why do you, and would you recommend it to other people? Also, do you have any tips on how to go about learning, and anything I really shouldn't do?
Road bikes, by the way!
Good answers so far. What about pedals? Clipless, or not? I'd have thought you'd need SPDs to spin, but starting off with SPDs might be tricky if you miss when you go to clip in?
