Just say NO to athletic shoes for indoor cycling
Tired of your feet cramping after 15 minutes on your indoor bike? Cycling shoes are the answer. A stiff sole distributes the load across the entire ball of the foot instead of just the two points that contact the pedal. Choosing the right one depends on what type of pedals you have on the bike you ride. Read on for more details.
