Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The thought of riding any distance in ill-fitting bike shoes should be motivation enough to find the time to drive to the LBS for a good fit. Treat yer dogs right!
