New to cycling and I need a little info on shoes.
My shoes have three positions to set the cleats in. One near the ball of the foot, one middle, and one towards the middle of the foot. Are these here simply for rider preference, or do the positions have uses depending on your ride(long vs short, hilly vs flat, etc)?
Also, doing a duathlon this weekend, run-bike-run. Its short distance 2.4, 13, 2.4. Is it even worth using cycling shoes? Or would I benefit more from a quicker transition?
thanks.
