Hi All,

Does anyone make an SPD-compatible shoe that would look decent around
the office? I've seen the ones that look like plain black trainers,
but they still look like trainers and not dress shoes. I've always
wondered if anyone makes more of a slip-on type shoe, maybe leather or
something.

I know, I know... "Just change your shoes!" I could do that, but I
have a short, easy commute (3-5 flat km) and I ride in my office
clothes. I like not having to do anything when I get to the office
besides take off my helmet and outerwear.

If I can ride my fixed gear in wooden clogs further than that to get
beer, surely you can pedal the same distance in Florsheims and some
MKS rubber block pedals. Sheesh! And get a nice Panama hat to go with
the business clothes for summer. Helmet and slacks--do you think
you're a Mormon or sumthin'?

Maybe a white linen suit would go well with the Panama hat?

No black string tie, though. And a purple shirt might look
too pimpy. A Viella plaid shirt might fill the bill, though.
Or an outrageous Hawaiian shirt. If the shirt is busy enough,
nobody notices whether or not you're wearing a tie.


cheers,
Tom

You'd want a bolo tie in natural leather, to match the straw. If you
are wanting an image, the clasp should match the feather in your
Panama.

That settles it, I'll be making a beer run in a suit on the fendered
SS this weekend. Thanks for the idea, should make for some
interesting conversation in downtown Dover.

Pack it home, or ride 1 handed? hm........

Safety first! Use a beer helmet!

Now you're talking my kind of helmet. Built in hydration and happy hour.

But avoid beer goggles at all costs.

I've found my Carradice SQR touring bag comfortably holds a six pack
with room to spare.

Though I do recall riding home one handed with a Special Mango cake from
my favorite Chinese bakery. The starting and stopping were the hard
parts. Just riding along wasn't too bad.

If you wind the slack around your hand your cake should be safe and cosy
while gripping the handle and brake.

I have a fond memory of a good friend in college, riding up the hill
on his "10 speed", one hand on the bars, the other holding a case of
beer on his shoulder, a cig. in his mouth puffing away. He was
weaving back and forth up the hill so he could make it up.

The good old days.
