Don't be afraid, it's perfectly safe. I (snap) said so.

Oh Snap! I needed that laugh, and I'm still laughing!

Oh. my. gawd.

That was sooo good.

Hey I like that bike!
Reminds me of my husband's old Trek which is now his errand/shopping bike:

There are lots of pricey new steel bikes being made by frame builders these days for people who like them. People can buy new, fix up old, get what they please and pay what they please- aluminum, steel, carbon, titanium, bamboo...whatever! All bikes are good.

And if someone wants to ride their bike dressed as Robin Hood...dressed as Lance Armstrong... or dressed in nothing at all...I say GO for it.

Um, that last one depends on the body of said someone.

I don't know about all this but NO ONE should bike in Crocs. Actually, very few should wear Crocs in public. Who even invented those aberrations of shoes?

Not that I don't own a pair, and not that I don't wear them out in public. But I SHOULDN'T. I can only embrace ugliness so far.

[SadieKate]

If that's the case, we should outlaw 90% of the shoes on the market. Orgo-natch functional only goes so far.

you all are cracking me up! My commuter has platforms on one side and spds on the other. I tried wearing my mtn bike shoes to commute in, and it wasn't so good for me. I ride my commuter in whatever matches my outfit I don't ride seriously on my commuter though - unless I'm outrunning hail and lightening... I can't imagine riding my road bike without my clipless... Also, I would love to see someone jump off their bike into a river and come out with a fish... I would pay to see that

Second the idea about banning Crocs.
Ugh.
And I would think they would be quite dangerous for riding.

OMG - I think I just pulled something laughing so hard at that whole thread!

Right. Cliff Shots are for SISSIES! I prefer to leap into a stream and catch a salmon in my teeth. "Real Girl sashimi".

Interestingly, I was comparing my comfy stiff-soled walking/hiking shoes to my comfy flexible Merrill jogging sneakers- both in similar 25 mile rides yesterday and today, with my platform touring pedals and the same socks. Both shoes are extremely comfortable when walking for miles, and both offer excellent support for me. Yesterday the stiff soled, and by the end of ride i had a little bit of burning on the balls of my feet. Today similar ride with the cushy jogging sneaks and my feet felt great all the way through the ride. Interesting....and not what I expected!
