I like your off road diversions, sorta "gravel-like"...which is cool to me. I sent the shoes AND the straps back to Amazon. I can't walk across my laminate floor w/out slipping and nearly busting my a#@...Screw it their gone. And the cheapa#@ straps are hard as heck to get into once I'm on the bike...Their gone as well, same as the overpriced styrofoam helmet. Jeez I saved over $100 send all the useless junk back! I want some cheap cycling shoes I can actually walk in and I'll just get some clips or something.

I still am will always be a street cyclist...I just am not made for nor am I interested in endurance events. All I need is my cheap HourPlus light road bike, and some cars to dodge.
