I am a newbie clydesdale rider on Trek 7.2FX hybrid. I dont commute on the bike or rider around the town... mostly take it out on evenings or weekend for ride on paved routes only. I bought this bike couple of years ago when I lived in Chicago and thought I might ride it into the city (thus not the road bike). However that never really happened and I just do riding on paved trails
My current pace is about 12mi/hr consistently. Of course the fit and seasoned riders on roadies zoom past me like I was on a stationary bike. Would going clipless on the hybrid be helpful or given my style/choice of riding I should look into an entry level road bike?
I do feel that clipless pedals would look pretty stupid on an unfitted hybrid bike going at a slow pace. Should I wait until my fitness is improved and just upgrade the bike or go for the pedals now?
