Back when I commuted I used SPDs and just wore MTB shoes all day. Also usually forgot to roll the cuff of my pants back down. So there's that.
That's what I do. There're these "cage around the clip" type of pedals. I can ride with any shoes on those. At least to the corner store.Was thinking I wanted to have the option to wear street shoes if I was going to just take a casual ride with my family. After looking the past few days I’m not seeing a lot of options. Maybe just an SPD pedal with a bigger platform would work?
That might work better if you're doing an hour or more with your family.You can always just use a clip-in flat adapter with a regular SPD.
No no no. He needs another bike. A dedicated family bike. A cruiser. With a rohloff hub. And belt drive.But to be fair, why not just ride your good old mountain bike when you're riding with your family? You can lean it against anything, not watching it like a hawk...
Put flat pedals on it if you're not really going mountain biking anyway.
Let me at least get the new bike in my garage before we start talking about a quiver!No no no. He needs another bike. A dedicated family bike. A cruiser. With a rohloff hub. And belt drive.
That correct the MTB needs some work. Haven’t decided what I’m going to do without yet although my wife will probably have something to say about that. I may just list it on FB for $1000 and have an excuse of why I don’t sell it.He needs to fix or replace at least one wheel first

I have a Rossin as my crapper bike...What work?
Nothing is going to beat a good old bike that was once a mean machine! I have a Diamondback hardtail I got back in 1996 that I'm still using as a commute/casual bike. Every time one of my casual riding friends pick up that bike, they were like "Wow, that's light!"
Well, "light" compare to a Huffy!
But, it's got wheels that are round (if not very true), both wheels and pedal spins freely, brakes that still stop the bike, and it even shifts (some, if not all, of the gears). And when I loan it to visiting guests, they said it's a "nice bike".
"Nice" compare to their Sears Special from the same vintage.
Really, a decent old bike won't fetch much money. But it's a reliable transport/exercise machine/guest bike, without which you'll soon end up paying a thousand to replace.
Business side.Ew, reflectors. Need a drive side picture tho! I gotta creep on the drivetrain without having to look it up. The matte silver paint looks good tho!
I was being kind on the name. There’s another. But just remove the cassette to get it off there. It’s not a safety feature so the shop would probably do it.Ha I didn’t know that thing had a name. Cut it off?
