So you walk in your bike shoes and cleats for three miles on a busy highway shoulder just to get to downtown and then another mile to get to work.

At least the weather was nice.

My cleats were dead before that happened and now they died. That was actually nice because I discovered something about the cleats and pedals I was using, but that is another thread.
