Back when I lived up near Boston, one Sunday I showed up for the early season ride with the team. As I was getting my act together to ride bike check floor pump check helmet check water bottles check powerbar check M&Ms CHECK shoes che.... shoes....shoes? SHOES!!!
Yep I had my fancy look pedals and no shoes. I ended struggling off the back, not unusual anyway, with my white Brooks hightops. One of the guys commented that I looked like an aerobics instructor on her way to work. Needless to say after a 30 mile the balls of my feet were a little tender for a few days.
