Help me decide my next bike related purchase!

0scar

By now I have accumulated everything I *need* for cycling - a good bike, some jerseys, lights, helmet, and a decent jacket. It takes me a while to save up for stuff but my last purchase was in December so it's time again! I'm looking to get something that will help me get more out of cycling. Should I go for:

a. Bibshorts, possible with unpadded tights to go over them on cold days
b. General upgrades - carbon seat post, bike computer
c. Shoes.

I have about £100 to spend, which I reckon will get me *one* of the three. None are strictly necessary, so I'm looking for the one that will give me the biggest increase in enjoyment. What do you think?

Hmm, I'm not so good at multiple choice, but my instinct tells me answer c. shoes 8)

Why would I expect a woman to choose shoes....?

I'd recommend shoes, too, if you don't already have bike specific ones.
But, you'll need to include pedals in the budget, too...

I have a friend with road pedals that he doesn't use, he's said he'd swap them for some flats. He commutes on a second hand Trek and is contemptuous of all things cycle related, most particularly spending money on bike stuff. I'd probably be doing him a favour, he just wears trainers and stands on the pedals, woo safety.

What? You're two women? This is getting confusing!

The saddle is a bit of an arsehatchet, i guess it's the choice between comfy and speedy..

If you haven't already got bibshorts then get some.
