Thanks for the info folks. @
mikewhiskey I was walking home from work the other day and a fellow on a mountain bike bunny hopped up on the low-rise wall beside me. I glanced down at his pedals and he was riding flats. I am continually impressed how people are able to move as one with their bikes. I would like to get that comfortable on a bike, but I worry my fear of biting it (and of being older meaning it takes me longer to recover) will hold me back.
