ambitious, an inquest is the investigation of an unexpected death.

Oh no! That's what I get for posting before coffee! But I have to say my fear of clip in bike shoes has me a little worried about death!

But the second definition is just "an investigation or inquiry."

If you haven't already, spend some time looking online at various options from various brands--one thing I've noticed in my LBS is that they don't necessarily have in stock the bikes that interest me most online, so if you go in armed with information about what is generally available, you'll not only know more about what you are seeing, but also about what you are *not* seeing on the floor.

Have fun shopping!

Actually, that is the application it has come to have, but:

Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French enqueste, from Vulgar Latin *inquaesta, feminine of *inquaestus, past participle of *inquaerere to inquire


It also means to inquire.
