Not sure if it's a placebo effect but since changing from rickety old spds to speedplay frogs I've gone from 16 to 18.5mph average on my 8 mile commute through central.
Good ride in this morning though I did get stuck briefly behind a slightly larger lady whose lycras went a lovely shade of see through in the sun, no undergarments in sight. Wasn't all that pleasant.
Back to the pedals though, didn't get on with them at all at first but now I've gotten used to the free spinny feeling of the non centering float, they're not bad. And my knees are thanking me for it.
