jyossarian, any luck with finding cycle therapy? google maps should give you exact directions from where you're staying.
I also busted one of the releases on my Domi's. Only one of the two release levers broke and I have been able to use em anyway without replacement. I have owned most of the big name shoes over the years and still find the Sidi's to be among the best going. That said they are stupid expensive. Gotta pay for that Italian styling I guess. It nice to have a shoe that doesn't look like Walt Disney threw up all over em. Europe Bound has some nice Diadora Mtn shoes right now for $90 I believe. A messenger buddy of mine just bought his second pair after the first blew up after 2 years. 2 years under a messenger seems pretty durable to me.
