T1 - Shoes

miller82

Just wondering what technique people use regarding their bike/shoe set up.
I did a duathlon last night and had the shoes clipped on to the bike , but numb nuts forgot elastics but figured i could still manage it. i couldnt.
I lost a good bit of time and eventually had to get off my bike after a shoe falling off and having to put the shoes on then jump back on the bike - SHOCKER !

do most people do the shoes and elastics trick or just place the shoes on the ground beside the bike ?

I usually leave mine clipped in with no elastic bands, easy o get my feet into on the go... needs practice of course.

Excuse my ignorance but what is the idea of the elastic bands?

Also if you have the shoes on the bike make sure the pedals are tightened (if possible on your pedals) so that the shoes connect with very little give in the release (that reminds me that i need to check this myself!)
