I ride a hybrid bike for fitness and I've never bothered with the fancy pedals. I just use an old pair of trainers.

I was drenched on a ride yesterday and my only pair of shoes suitable for cycling are saturated and hence hanging on the clothesline. The weather was ok this morning for a ride but I didn't fancy putting on cold and wet shoes.

Can anyone suggest a quick-drying trainer? If they are inexpensive I might get two pairs.

Volleys might be an option ...? Are they quick-drying? Anything else you can suggest?

Not quite what I was thinking. They are certainly breathable!

Wore volleys on my MTB for a longish road ride this morning (trails too wet at present for any other type of ride). They're not really what I would call quick drying, uppers being a type of heavy cotton canvas. In summer they don't take too long to dry out, but in the current weather I doubt it. Most trail running shoes would probably do the job I think. I bought a pair of Adidas Kanadia recently, for similar reasons, but haven't tried them out yet.

There's Addidas and Nike factory outlets at auburn. I might see if they have anything similar.

I'd be looking for a goretex cross trainer, they dry pretty quickly, and you can still do many other things in them. I'd suggest looking at Salomon shoes. They give pretty good support as a walking shoe or a runner.
