FRED. FRED FRED FRED. FRED. Fraidy Cat FRED. Fred. FRED FRED FRED. Whatsa matter, don't wanna scratch your fancy dancy little white bike with a few little zero MPH CLub Tombay Moves? Huh FRED? Well if you were a MAN instead of a MOUSE, you would embrace the pain and live with the scratches, thinking of them as your bike's Red Badge of Courage, but no, you've changed your mind and are going to stick with bike tryout pedals. For now. You'll be back. Oh yes my pretty, you'll be back....wait and see.
Signed, the guy who got clipless pedals about six months ago, and is now an expert.
