Howdy!

I've got those cage things on my pedals and I noticed at the races where I've volunteered that most of the winners have clips. I'd like to join their ranks, but I don't want to do it the wrong way.

The River City Bikes (Portland, Ore.) webpage suggests I see them for a "fitting" if I want to go into clips. Is that really necessary? Is it OK to just buy the cheapest clip in pedals and the cheapest bike shoes and go for it?

Kind regards,

Mike
