At 67" tall, I don't think that I've ever owned a bike that didn't have toe overlap.

Work was good and then bad. A meeting that had been supposed to be me bring some more senior devs into the project I've been working (which needs more and better hands) and went well yesterday... one of them brought in the boss. I like my boss, but she doesn't need to be in the weeds, and this was supposed to be a players-only meeting. Then it became a her meeting, and me getting grilled about code others wrote years ago. And my putative team lead was silent the entire time. Am furious, and back dreaming about just walking away.
You could have someone screaming at you for missing a friends wedding because you refuse to fly an airplane with a missing engine, and they can’t comprehend why.

Since I've dealt with toe overlap for 40 years, I rarely notice it at all. It does bite me occasionally at stop signs but seriously, it really is no big deal. My sub conscience handles it, I guess.

I’m stumped on Wordle at the moment through 3 turns, so I did Quordle.

My dog is driving me nuts this morning. Trying to get the house ready for the wife to come home. The dog just keeps following me around and barking when I stop moving. That’s how she tells us she needs to go outside. I’ve let her put 5 times and she just stands in the garage and then comes back inside, starts the whole process over again.
# No more dogs.
I know reading that doesn’t sound bad, but believe me it’s the most annoying thing in the world.

bampilot06 I checked and the overlap on my Colnago is 3/4", Emonda is 5/8", and Propel is 1/2".
Right on, I thought about it more last night. I think when I ride the madone, I know about the over lap, so I automatically make the adjustments while riding to not have that happen. Foot forward in tight turn, and so on.
The emonda was new and I didn’t even think about it. My daughter was riding super slow last night so I was weaving back and forth in tight s turns to stay with her. The left foot kept hitting the tire where the right foot wasn’t.
When I say slow, 3 mph.
Anyways, everything is cool now.

New (primary) shoe purchases in the future will still be white, though.

I'm not sure what kind of overlap I have on the R3... when I'm going that slow, I'm usually more concerned with my little-practiced, low-speed handling than overlap.

My daughters’ HS band would go do a parade in Disneyworld every year which I suspect is both an honor and a scam. Older daughter’s college band got an invite to this year’s Rose Bowl which I think is a legit honor. But she graduated and her current band role is getting 4th and 5th graders to play together.
