Thank you, Bystander, I like to put my feet where ever it suits on the day, and know that when I stop I won't fall over as I did when I originally had foot cages and leather straps to contend with, If I'm going up a difficult hill it's instep or heel and on the flat it's instep to toe, this way I feel comfortable, so I removed my old metal foot cages early on and now get a better more confident ride. I do Have 2 Puncture repair Kits in my saddlebags and an assortment of tools ie, spanners tyre leavers plyers so although this makes my bike 🚲a couple of kilos heavier its nothing compared to the 17 stone it's already carrying.
