kasia in a nutshell

I've decided it's time to spend some more money on my little biking hobby. I have a cheap bike, but that doesn't mean I have to look any less geeky than your average mountain biking enthusiast.

Today, I took the first step into what I'm sure will become an addiction.. adding accessories to my bike!
I'm going clipless, baby.. that's right.. less sweating going up hills.. or I'll just go up higher hills.. or so I keep telling myself..

Ordered the Shimano 515s. I know.. I know.. mere $35 isn't exactly jumping head first into accessorizing my bike.. but the shoes will be another $100 or so since I intend to get those at the local cycle shop. I'm a girl, I want to try them on.

I should get someone to take pictures of my first day with the clipless pedals.. I'm sure it'll be a barrel of laughs as I"ll repeatedly fall over while trying to remember just how to get my feet off the pedals..

Being true to my geeky self, I intend to install them myself. I've got screwdrivers.
