    Do the majority here have regular bike shoes ?

    i have tri shoes, looking at getting a new pair. I prefer to do a flying mount start on the bike but presume this is a tad trickier with regular shoes ???

    Depends on the shoes.

    I have Spesh S-worx shoes for road cycling and long course racing.
    Spech Trivents for short course racing.

    The road shoes are just more comfortable for longer riding.

    Mate was too tight to buy tri shoes so he went to a tailer and had loops put on the back of his road shoes:D

    just curious, do you leave them attached to the bike even for long course?
