Getting my first pair of cycling shoes 🚲 1st time climbing Mount Faber vlog

You guys told me to get cycling shoes and here I am!!! After building my first road bike, your girl is getting her first pair of Bont Cycling shoes 🙌🏻 Of course, I had to go for a ride the next morning and conquer Mount Faber in Singapore! It was surprisingly doable. I can't believe the only time I actually fell was when I was on my way home and it was just at a traffic light when I wasn't sure if I should go or stop (because I knew the lights would be orange soon) and the hesitation resulted in me falling to the right side :')
Lesson learned. Just commit to it and don't hesitate lol.

Hot tip! Always unclip one foot before coming to a full stop. Idea is to have one foot ready to plant on the ground while coasting to a stop. This will end your anxiety of using clipless pedals and put an end to falling over.

[@DavosPessos]

Ok one thing the bike shop forgot to tell you is that when you starting out as a beginner to clipless, back off some of the cleat tension on the pedals that way you can get in/out of them easily. As confidence/ muscle memory (from having to swing foot outwards to unclip) and experience grows then you can do up the tension to a point that is ideal for you.... it will save your knees and ( pride ) 😁😁 besides unless you going racing or you in the pro leagues you donr need the tension done up mega tight!! We on open, live roads you need some degree of getting out your pedals if emergency crops up☝🏾

[@knightsljx]

This. And practice bailout a few times in a controlled environment, especially on a uphill

[@TaichoCyclist]

Enjoy the passion and remember to continue staying safe on the roads. Hope you find more new adventures on 2-wheels.

[@Fangducky]

Great choice! I too have wide feet and it took me multiple tries in the oven to get the fit dialed-in but totally worth it. Happy riding!

[@treymorant905]

Been waiting for you to post a video about cycling again, i found your channel because of your build, looking forward to see more of your place thru cycling

[@sherrybyw]

Thanks for your patience! I plan to regularly upload cycling videos 😁 I have a cool one coming soon (hint: getting some new gear, both for filming cycling content and gear for my bike)

[@arveejaycastro0216]

New to your channel. Just saw how you pedal with the cleats, don’t tip toe. Your foot while pedalling should be flat to stretch your hamstring and to avoid cramps while riding. And I tell you, you don’t wanna get cramps when your legs are tired.

[@louiemarcsalva]

I'm quite surprised 1st day of cleats cycling you're at Mt. Faber already. That's brave. 😃

[@dwightmark3288]

what an amazing place to cycle :) looks beautiful, i remember getting clipin pedals, pretty scary at first, ive fallen into a hedge and onto pavements trying to clip in and out , all learning curve

[@thomickers]

Hello! I am from melbourne and I have watched your 2 videos on cycling and they are great. I cant wait to bring my bike over to singapore! Btw i think your saddle can be raised slightly higher (1-3cm) for better pedalling efficiency. If you if feel like your feet are far from the ground (happens with smaller riders) you can always lean the bike towards the unclipped foot to get off

[@qilqilqil8863]

Good choice going with Bont shoes. The heat mouldable ones are great.

[@bubbachua]

good job sherry, nice upgrade to cleats. everyone falls the first few times forgetting to clip out when they stop.

[@WatchTheChase]

Going up Mt. Faber looked smoooooooth in these shoes 👏👏👏

[@dpledoone]

You did great. You chose the right shoe in 39 that fits-he was right fit is everything. Look pedals are a great choice as they have a lot of surface area and they have been around forever with their 3 point cleats and pedals-easy to replace and upgrade. Please practice going hard and stopping fast to get out of pedals ASAP. You look very cute in white too!

[@wespress0]

Glad I found your video about buying cycling shoes as I’ve got wide and flat feet too! Definitely wanna drop by the store soon.

[@changrenyong7616]

That happens to everyone new to clipless pedals. Sometimes, more than once 😆. Tegaderm - not sure if you can get this in Singapore - is great for road rash.

[@danielgems7939]

what an agressive and courageous cyclist indeed .. first time on an clip on and went all out to Mt Faber .. the wound you got exactly I got from a month of trying on mountain bike shoes and i gave up on the shoes, back to my sneakers .. anyway keep on trying them out on the park or on out garage, I reckon .. quieter place

[@bee_whisper]

all for the cycling videos :D hope the bikes holding up aswell .

[@bentan6218]

Way to go girl. You are so brave. Do take care out there when you are riding, as some driver is not so forgiving towards cyclist. But overall I still enjoy my ride.

[@junnnsonggg]

Nice one! Long time viewer commenting on your video. Lily is a mutual friend! 🙈 You need to hit up TMCR next to hit some new PRs on Strava. So nice and flat with no traffic lights, like an outdoor spin class. Then do the famous round the island after that! 💪

[@martinmckowen1588]

The cycling shoes also help to ensure that you have better foot placement on the pedals (the ball of the foot) and also ensure better energy transfer - looking good.

[@hartwinfritz]

good thing dear that you don't have a chinese accent like them, 11:10 you're very fluent in english, and we love it ♥️

[@phillipellingson8556]

welcome to the club. Everyone does it. In fact I was in NYC for a cycling group and someone right in front of me didn't clip out and fell on their side. I've been using clips in for years and still have troubles at times. Try to clip out of both at the same time.

[@gianpaologliori3604]

Well done on your first ride clipped in! Next stop Tour de France Femmes!!

[@sherrybyw]

Thank you! Haha next goal: 100km first!

[@ianthecyclist4868]

good choice... this is a good brand, keep it up!!

[@marki7275]

Happy riding. Never give up.

[@RainieYang889]

Very courageous to hit the road immediately first day with clipless pedals! 👍🏻and attempt a climb some more 😱

[@suntanboy22]

Nice cycling vlog!

[@Bernardjytan]

Ouch, I have the same wound at the same spot as you. Use those spray kind of antiseptic from watsons to reduce pain-ness when self treatment. The brand I am using is "Schulke Octenisept".

[@ralphdajao8547]

14:23... the welcome moment to clipless world. Next step is to invest on indoor bike trainer I.e wahoo kickr v5 and connect to zwift. Worth the money. It will definitely improve your fit and conditioning.

[@wksoon]

Clipless is the game changer, can swap out the insole for better support and comfort since Bont insole is very basic

[@yunnyshunshun]

Biggest game changer to cycling!!

[@sherrybyw]

I seriously feel such a strong difference! Uphill actually feels doable now haha

Great job ! Recover .Take care

[@aldrinclementina4297]

The bike look sicker now. Enjoy it. You will notice the different for sure comparing with flat pedals

[@eyeonjo]

cleats battle scar. it's a must! lol great vid!

[@sherrybyw]

Did not make it out unscathed 😂

[@pingpong229]

No bandaid on that wound. Clean it, apply some Neosporin and just let it dry. The bandaid will make it moist n will take longer to heal. You want to keep it dry. It'll become moist during recovery but eventually will dry out and that's where it'll be fun to pick on the scab when it heals!

[@Y3riel]

I was really WOW with the store. It’s impressive but the advise and comments from the rep are concerning. Please do not work your way to 0degree float. Unless you’re a pro or recommended by a bike fitter, it will cause knee issues. Also surprised he didn’t measure your feet. Nice shoes and brand though!!!! Keep riding!!!! I’m closing in 10,000km for the year! Can’t wait for your first 100km!

[@manuelrobles20]

Those are cool! How do you like them so far?

[@veilrex]

Hi Sherry, How is the bont riot shoe feel like up to date ? I’m having wide feet too. 😊

[@themaxzulu149er]

Great video

[@lawrenceangelo8311]

You should have went for a shimano cleat mounts and clipless pedals. The seller basically stripped your budget down to paying twice the price since you’re just a beginner. Shimano ones are budget friendly if your just starting out for a clipless shoes, pedals and mounts.

[@jy7245]

How heavy is your bike? Looks pretty light

[@janepark559]

omg hope you're alright!! also i think i saw u last week at common mans??

[@sherrybyw]

I was there last weekend after doing my 10km fundraising run :D Say hi next time!!

[@geoffreyhammett7038]

Can’t go wrong with ‘Look’ pedals, you’ll soon get used to them! 😊🚴‍♀️🇬🇧

[@BEAVISKORNHOLIO69]

Cool shoes Sherry now you can ride with the wind on your bike

[@andrew097]

When Greg Le Mond started promoting clueless pedals I bought a pair.. Before I went on the road I jammed my bike between the wall and the kitchen table. I then spent a few cups of tea clicking in and out. In all diffrent positions the foot can be in pedalling. 30, 40 mins getting used to this movement will save a bit of pain.

[@barrymullen5242]

I like being able to walk around in my cycling shoes, that’s why I use Shimano double sided mountain bike pedals.

[@marcustan5868]

Yes that's the best!

[@HarishChouhan]

A bit late but did they not recommend using insoles for your flat feet?

[@LifeContentArt]

where is the climb mount faber part? or u mean cycle in carpark?

[@simplyray37]

They seam to have good range of shoes, gone have to check them out when I'm back in Singapore.

[@sherrybyw]

You totally should!! Let me know how it goes 🔥🔥

[@bluestilling101]

I thought you would elaborate on what happened to your leg? When you got up super early in the morning to go biking with cleats for the first time without practicing how to use them, I was expecting to see some serious bloopers in this video. I am new to cleats as well, and I fell over

[@lilywu9912]

Ok irrelevant to the video but just wanted to say what am I doing with my pleb normal grabs when I can be getting light changing premium grabs with massage chairs?!

[@sherrybyw]

You need to get on that Grab premium Lily

[@unitedislife]

And there I was thinking… new to clipless shoes and she’s attempting a climb? Welcome to the club. Lol.

[@sherrybyw]

Hahahha feeling silly bc my injury wasn't even from the climb :') It was from my hesitation at a traffic light on whether I should go or stop (because I knew the lights would be orange soon) hahahah. I should have just unclipped!

[@unitedislife]

@@sherrybyw lol. Yes… traffic lights. The number 1 spot where we get our clipless baptism of fire.

[@unitedislife]

@@sherrybyw And next time unclip whatever the colour of the lights, but leave your foot resting on the pedal. If it's green then just push it back into the pedal. :)

[@Spivt2]

What helmet do you have? Thanks

[@roblacyclist1170]

Sherry sweetheart, excellent video, and please also get yourself a pair of gloves. Not only will you grip the handlebars better, but more importantly it will protect your hands from road rash should you fall off your bike. If the shoes you bought do not work out, I highly recommend Specialized cycling shoes. Also, always carry a spare tube tire and tools.

[@bentan6218]

I agree, do get yourself a pair of gloves. It not only can protect your hand when you fall, it will give you more comfort on long rides and help keep your bar tape fresh longer. 😋🤭

Did they measure your feet? Length and width? This is wrong on so many levels.

[@socioecohistorywordpress5268]

Nice!! Go Girl!! 👍👍❤❤. Cyclists tend to dress in very bright, loud colors, stripes, patches many different colors. This is for SAFETY not fashion. Of course, it becomes a cycling fashion. I also will dress in LOUD colors to draw attention of drivers. I suggest you change your white shirt to something brighter, louder. It better reflects your sunny positive personality also. Avoid drab colors, grey, light brown... drivers don't notice you until they are very close. SAFETY First. Serious cyclists wear cycling sun glasses. Not just to protect from sun but also from dust and dirt thrown out by bus, construction trucks, trailers .... wheels. Once, I was hit in the eye by a small stone churn up from a truck's wheels. Hurt like hell and almost crash on busy street. Could hardly see. So make sure you wear sun glasses. Cycling sun glasses are special. Typically, they allow you to change the glasses to darker, lighter depending on conditions ie. they come with a few pairs of different inter-changeable glasses/shades. They usually have an offset from your nose bridge. Ie. there is a 5-8mm gap from your nose bridge and also face. This is to provide ventilation and prevent fogging of lenses. Some glasses have small cutouts on the top of the lens for this purpose also. Others like Adidas have adjustable nose bridges/ear rests to adjust how and the angle the glasses sit on your face. Prescription lenses/inserts are also available. Ie. perfect vision on the road. The expensive ones usually provide a sweat strip attached above the frame just above the eye brows to absorb the dripping sweat from your forehead. Also, cycling glasses tend to have larger lenses to prevent sunlight hitting your eyes when you are fully lowered ie hands on the drops. And the lenses will wrap around to the side of the face to prevent sunlight coming from the sides. Google: Prescription Adidas Running & Bicycling Sunglasses Decathlon Cat 0 + 3 Interchangeable Cross-Country Mountain Bike Glasses Pack - Black HUBO SPORTS Cycling Glasses, TR90 Unbreakable Frame Polarized Sports Sunglasses, Bike Glasses for Men Women with 5 Interchangeable Lens, Anti-UV400 for Driving Fishing Glof Baseball Running Hiking HTH. Happy cycling!! Go Girl!!😁😁❤❤

[@felipevazquez123]

These shoes work with the Peloton bike+ (April 2022), kzbin.infoUgkxGPkov2mNjgZfG33r6Bwvies8jKE4AKZB and are of good enough quality. I have completed 10 rides so far and there are no issues. The first time trying to fit them on the Peloton bike took 10 minutes (even with the help of an experienced cyclist friend who wears the same type of cleats). It took a couple of rides to break in. After the first two rides there were no issues at all.

@@sherrybyw Anyway, ride safe on Singapore roads! Singapore roads aren't really the best for cycling. I don't think all cyclists and drivers know how to share and be responsible on the roads.

Another flat foot person. :) Totally understand the pain and hassle you go through! A good thing about it is that there are limited brands and models that you can buy. The non-flatfoot people have a wide range to consider... major headache I'm sure! lol :p

Well congrats! you had your first crash while being clipped in. Usually it takes 1 crash to get your brain trained to remember that you're clipped in and need to twist instead of just pull :)

[@2000acuracer]

Oh, and if you're finding that the road bike cleat system are just too hard to get off from, SPD system for MTB (as opposed to SPD-SL for road) are much easier to get out from and also easier to walk on, but you're also gonna need new shoes and pedals

[@mikethornton2497]

You DO NOT work your way up to 0 degree float. The float is designed to allow your ankle and knee to have some tolerance (I.e float) when connected to the pedal. The required amount of float is different for every rider irrespective of length of time cycling or strength of the rider etc. 0 degree cleats are hardly used even in the pro peloton except for sprinters who are required to make every watt of output count and transition into the pedal, for the rest of the riders, they will have some degree of float, it PREVENTS injury! Advising people to move towards a 0 degree float is just wrong….it is NOT common for people to use and saying so on a platform with a new cyclist and a new cycling audience I don’t think is cool…..

[@adrielchia351]

Try increasing your saddle height by a few cm.
