Powergrips

nv55 Back to the Powergrips...

I ride everywhere, if I don't want to wear my spds all day, so I put on my powergrips/sylvans and my gazelles. They are nowhere near as good as any clip-in style pedals though, since you can't apply force at the bottom of the pedal stroke - your feet would just come out. That said - it's way better than riding with trainers and spds.

eeehhhh - Back to Imperial: I actually really liked it. When I was there, many students were from the far east, and they worked very hard, and you only ever saw them in lectures and labs, they never ever went to the union bars or anything like that. Point is, the un-interesting people don't get in your way, so it's not a problem. I did have a lab group once that was assigned alphabetically by surname. Vaughan, Wong, Wong, Wong, Wong, Wong, Wong and Wong.

From what everyone's said it looks like powergrips are going to be the best solution for me, even though they aren't the "best". I can't be bothered to carry around extra shoes really, and I would like clipless, it's just the £...

Imperial - I really can't wait. I noticed the number of far eastern people when I went for interview - they all look very smart and then there's me in my (smartish) jeans and a collar shirt with no tie! :)

What did you study by the way?
