Re: Buying a bicycle

Wow so you buy special shoes to ride then, right?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yep. They are lightweight with hard soles.

Or is there some harness you put over your shoe?

No harness needed with "clipless". The "cleats" hold the shoes onto the pedals. There used to be a system using straps or "toe clips" that held the shoes onto the pedals, but it has since evolved into "clipless" which essentially eliminates the straps.

If not a harness or something around your shoe, do you, umm, put your real shoes in a backpack so you can still walk or something, in regular shoes, after you take off your "biking" shoes? I feel retarded here.

Depends on the shoes. The high end road shoes cannot be used for walking. But, there are commuter versions which can be used for walking. Also, Mountain Bike clipless shoes generally can be used for walking, if necessary.
