Grant Peterson's Shoes Ruse

[shootingstar]

It works very well for Grant as I know he can fly up Mt Diablo without being clipped in - including the 1/4 mile or so of 20% at the end and wearing a floppy hat too. Yes, he often climbs Mt Diablo w/o a helmet. I've never seen him descend w/o one though. Of course he had to lug it up there along with whatever else he's carrying in his bags - usually some pretty good food. The guy is a very strong, very talented rider.

Obviously a quite strong, talented rider. That's great.

I ride with toeclips. The stiff shoe sole helps alot so am abit puzzled by the claim of whatever shoe sole by him.

Obviously I'm "weaker" if I can't cycle in soft ballet slippers or cheapie beach rubber flip flops. Oh well, have no interest in trying them out. I already wear customized orthotics inside my cycling shoes. I can't imagine at this time with softer soled shoes..my feet will feel killed.

Oh for pete's sake, where the heck did Grant or anyone else anyone say that ? Yeesh.
