Seems to be the season for industrial design projects with a cycling theme, usually to solve a non-problem.
Can we suggest real, actual problems that need solutions:
I for one would pay for some decent winter cycling boots that look neat enough for casual use. I dont need SPD cleats, but could use a high ankle without any padding and with a stiff but walkable sole.
Most lightweight trail boots, though adaquate, have low tops and too much padding, so dont solve the "rainpant drainage problem"; many also have permeable uppers.
