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

Well, years ago I actually jumped into a pond and came out with two big snapping turtles, one in each hand. Does that count? I admit I caught them with my two hands (like a sissy), not with my teeth.

Here's a picture (after I got the mud cleaned off myself a bit):
P.S. I never could have done it if I was clipped in.

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

I'm too old to care.
I've been able to literally watch my toes unfurl over the months I've been wearing Crocs. You mean toes aren't supposed to be skrunched up and unable to fully extend???
As for riding, they're no more dangerous than... say... anything else not clipped in.

NO! Your toes should eventually wind up in roughly the shape of the munchkins from Wizard of Oz. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

I have stopped caring about carrying a nice purse (my Rudy Project Backpack is now my purse), the grey stripe in my hair, and the fact that my nails look like have been digging potatoes all day.
And my flippers are definitely more comfortable in Crocs. But dang. They are ugly. I am now in full flip flop phase (I sometimes wear my "dress flip flops" if I am feeling puckish). My feet are too wide for most flip flops, so I wear men's from American Eagle. Probably just a big a fashion faux pas as Crocs. I should just shut up.
For biking I shove the flippers in my bike shoes and clip in.
