Im now averaging about 120 miles a week, my long ride so far has been 50 miles, but plan on working up to my first century ride in October.
Im still a newbee rider, my bike is a All City Space horse, gravel bike……And I go against the trend and dont use clipless pedals. I may eventually switch to clipless, but Im comfortable with my current speed of averaging between 15-17 MPH while wearing my running shoes.
I don't know a lot about All City bikes but the Gorilla Monsoon looks like a good deal and I loved the burgundy/black color. It'll have to wait.
Use whatever pedals you want. Stiff soles are good, though.
