So last week I bought some Garmin Vector 2 pedals and a pair of Sidi Kaos Road shoes <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-happy\"><\/span> cost me a fortune but the pedals do have power meters on them. I&#8217;ve never used Sidi shoes and today&#8217;s ride was my first ride with them. I kept the ride to a short one as I&#8217;m not sure how my body is going to react to this change but this mornings ride went without a hitch and I never fell off my bike which is a good thing <span class=\"wp-font-emots-emo-wink\"><\/span> The statistics the power meters give you is a bit over whelming but interesting and compared to my Bontrager shoes the Sidi ones are as good if not better, they allow for a bit more tightening around the foot. It&#8217;s still early days with these shoes and pedals but I certainly like what I feel :-D. Weather wise today was a bit dull with a few spats of rain but little wind so although today&#8217;s ride wasn&#8217;t the fastest it was still quite quick. <\/p> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <p> Ride 03\/09\/2016 So after riding a good 5 years on my SPD cleats and pedals I decided it was time to try some proper road shoes, since I&#8217;m riding more my road bike than my mountain bike.
