[Pedals, My Shins Hurt]

hi

Being a newbie and christmas fast approaching, I need some help.

I have no shins left, my feet keep coming off the pedals, they are the standard ones fitted to a onza t bird (2005ish) I dont know if its because of my footwear (nike shoxs) or my pedals being bad, obviously my riding skills have something to do with it, Shin pads are on there way to me but gut feeling is pedals, Advice please.

Thanks in advance

Hi

My name is Al, I too am from the ranks of old fart, been riding for 2 weeks on an Onza T bird with some mods, Had not rode a bike for 20 years, It all changed after watching Danny Macaskill on you tube, then showing a couple of people, it then transpired my work mate had been riding trials for 5 years and thats it, ride in built up areas always pushing myself to keep up with the others but im just bad at it. Injuries in the 2 weeks both shins, left elbow and battered 2 ribs, ride every day for 30mins. My target is to get out next summer and look like I know what im doing. All the best and Il keep you posted on my progress.
