I was looking to buy my first road bike and I bought a 2009 Cannondale Caad 9 from a local bike shop. The owner helped me when picking it out. I was looking for a decent bike for just recreational riding. I mainly wanted a bike to go on rides daily and do some commuting to the local stores. I am 6' 250lbs. The owner said that my weight would not be a problem but a neighbor who happens to ride said it would be for my bike. So I was wondering if I got a good or bad deal on the bike. I was also wondering about the clipless pedals i bought to go with the bike. I have a pair of the hard soled road shoes but I don't like the idea of duck walking anytime i go to a store or rest stop. Would i be alright with a set of MTB shoes and pedals or what do you recommend. I am on a tight budget after getting the bike and getting it set up for me. Thanks.
