I've been riding for exactly two days now, but I've been reading this board for a while. Couple questions:
When people say their cadence is 80, does that mean each time their right foot hits the bottom = 1 or is it right foot at bottom=1, left=2, right=3, left=4?
Why are they called "clipless" pedals? I clip into them, right?
What are rollers?
What should I NOT wear that looks like cycling gear? I've read posts that talk about the benefits of cycling gear (lycra, padded shorts, nifty pockets in shirts, etc), and I'm sold - I'll bought the tight shorts. But I saw a pair of those bike shorts with suspenders and I'm pretty sure my wife would leave me if I walked into public with those on. Do people wear those?
