On my commute, sometimes a guy riding with bare feet passes me. I lik
that, because watching him for a while is quite entertaining. Not jus
the bare feet, but the ride seems to be a duallie with worn pivo
bushes. The rear wheel wiggles to left and right frantically as the gu
pushes on bare feet like there's no tomorrow. I don't have anythin
against it, it's just different

or were they a DIY sandal

I realise this is not terribly lady-like to mention, but this is th
time of year when one stops, *ahem*, de-fuzzing one legs. Prefer to sta
warm + legs/sleeves/thermals. Be fashionable? Left that behind long ago

They are made by Cannondale and are available in Australia, but not everywhere.

I've passed the odd roadie whilst on my hybrid... they Do Not Like It.

I also feel really cool and fit when I pass people. Then I think
"maybe they're riding three or four times as far as I am, and are
pacing themselves". This thought always puts the brakes on my superman
complex (if you are superman (Brad Magee, perhaps?), I apologise).
I just figure nobody likes to be passed. How does the age-old maxim
go? "If you are behind me, I will try to stay away; if you are before
me, I will try to catch you..." It's obvious you are the same, as are
they. Get over it. You will be passed; you will pass. I have been a
"roadie" since September, and I was passed and dropped by a guy on a
MTB last week on Whitehorse Road. Didn't Like It, as it showed how
unfit I was after the six week lay off due to a bulged disk in my
back, but it didn't make me disobey traffic signals either. Older guy,
too... pedalled like a machine... That MTB must have been his Clarke
Kent equivalent... or maybe I'm a fat ******* on a skinny bike. Oh
well.

What!? He doesn't have cleats surgically inplanted into the souls of his
feet?
