Why I didn't post there?

1. I never noticed there was a "winter cycling" forum.
2. It seems to me that everybody post all sorts of questions in this forum - I personally would vastly prefer to see relevant questions posted in the appropriate forum, especially "bicycle mechanics" and "training and nutrition."
3. My observation is that questions in those forums don't get much traffic

I also didn't bother to search - there have been four postings with "booties" in the title this year, including one in "winter cycling" (and two in "road cycling"). This was simple brain fade - I didn't think of it. I should have, although those threads probably would not have addressed MTB SPD shoes, which seems (to me) like it might affect the responses.
