Now coming home, doing the right hand turn, there is a separate turn lane so I can pick the gear and power through without shifting; and I've learned to pick up my RH boot to avoid having it caught.
I ride with Sidi boots (they don't look that bad yet!) and they are not all that cheap either. In any event, looks like I do need to adjust my riding a tad.
Probably teaching you to suck eggs here, but I went through this routine:
"Change gear or trail brake (if required), foot back, toe on peg, tip in."
Now it is habit.
