And also be prepared to fall over in your driveway, in the carpark, in front of the coffee shop....just about everywhere you need to slow down. After five years I still fall in the driveway every few months....
I have also had a pair of R600 Olympics from Sportsman's Warehouse and they have served me well They also sell a flat pedal with the clip in it so you can opt to use your normal shoes, I still have a pair here...and sometimes consider putting them back on, just so the bike become more flexible. http://www.sportsman...-bi-pedals.html
All those items can be used on a more expensive bike, so nothing wrong with spending on accessories. Once you upgrade the bike the shoes, pedals and helmet moves with you....unless you dread coming on to the Hub and seeing a post referring to a dude with very expensive shoes, clips and helmet on a R4.5k bike....
