In those days, when we are entering T2, we have to sit down for our cycling shoe. After that, we have to running like a chicken to push the bike to the rideable zone. Or to be true, it is like running with a roller skate shoe! this definitely shortenning the cycling shoe's life as it is not meant to run/walk.
Later time, we have a new technique by Pro by attaching the shoe onto the pedal. When entering T2, we just push the bike** to the rideable zone, and mount/hop onto the bike, slowly we put the shoe on while you gain momentum on the bike, this shave some of your T2 time. P/S provided you have been practiced and the shoe opening is large enough for you to put in while you are on the bike.
Take a look of the "**" section, your bike shoe is attached to the pedal and it will be scratching with the floor while you are pushing the bike, it actually makes lot of 'scars' to the shoe's heel.
Now, with more ideals/feedback from the athletes, a new range of products have arrived. You still attach the shoe on the bike's pedal. with all the velcro-strap opened largely for easier entry. To avoid the shoe scratching, tie a rubber band (as shown in the pics) and attached it to the any part of the bike that can hold it. This will makes a lot easier/smoother for your T2 in your race!
