Well, I would imagine basically any time you're piloting a bike you'll need to be thinking at least a bit in order to avoid crashing, unless maybe you know something I don't? I'm a short guy who likes to ride bikes with 700c wheels, so yeah, toe overlap kinda comes with the territory. I didn't realize this was an issue people felt the need to take sides on - it's been a refreshingly long while since I've been called an apologist! The things folks are willing to argue about is what cracks me up.
