Clipless pedals are recommended for all trike pilots, but a must for anyone with weakness in their legs. Because of my toes pointing outward, I had to have 1" axle extenders installed to not hit my heels on the crank arms. The shoes are meant to be able to walk around in them a little. However, they have very rigid soles, to transfer the most energy possible. This leads to me having no balance in them, so I put a chair in the garage and change shoes right in front of the trike, so I only have to take a few steps.
Now, onto the pics:
My ghetto-tastic bag for now. It's a hard shell case from my old PSP, but it holds my phone and wallet quite nicely. Unfortunately, I can't quite squeeze my keys in there too.
I opted for these shoes, they have a lot of breathability, but still have the laces to tighten down and feel secure. I thought about sandals, but I thought these might give more support.
I'm glad the cleats are very adjustable, I had to adjust them a few times...notice how much more angle the left shoe (last picture) has
Congratulations. Hope you love it. Take it easy in the beginning until your legs are built up more. Keep it fun & you will keep going. (At least that is what I tell myself.)
