For did not Wifredo-Pelayo Ricart Medina himself say, "The brain of an engineer is a delicate instrument instrument which must be protected against the unevenness of the ground." Andre Jute http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/B...20CYCLING.html Andre, Where were the ten good reasons? I didn't see ten items in your posting, nor in the web page it points to. Thanks, Kerry I prime the pump with one good reason, Kerry, and you supply the other nine. That's one of the nice things about the usenet, that one soon runs into other guys with brains or experience or curiosity, sometimes all three at once. -- AJ |

Yes, me, too... but for different reasons. *I do lose power in that I can't pull over the top; however, I'm truly a commuter and ride in my office clothes, so I accept the trade off. Actually, what I wrote was a bit misleading. I'm not a commuter. I work at home. On most days the only time I leave the house is to cycle. I don't wear shoes inside the house, so those thick rubber soled shoes are bought specifically to cycle in. But your remark about power does raise another point. The best office- type shoes to fit cleats to would in fact be those made with leather soles because those have a think steel shank inserted in the sole to help keep their shape; the steel shank stiffens them much like cycling shoes.
