Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

75% or more of the pro peloton is in white footwear.

No-no? I wear them! I've got a set of white Sidi Ergo1's and they f'n rock. My new Austin Bike kit is white as well. This all matches my new LOOK 595, which is white of course, quite well. Now to wear the Vittoria gold shoes you'd better be able to bring the pain....

Couldn't have said it better . I love my white shoes. I was hesitant at first, but damn, do they look sexy. White matches just about any kit out there.

I like my white shoes. I tried ordering my new Sidi's in white but they are back ordered. Apparently others like them as well.

I would have said as well but at 45 using the phrase 'straight pimp'n' seems unatural.

I love the white tape! Fizik is easy to clean and I love the feel. I've got a white saddle, white bike, and white bar tape.

Shoe colors come and go. Silver was it for a while; then Lance brought black back. Now white is cool again. I always liked it.

I'm doing the retro thing then, with my silver Sidi's...I would have gone for white, but the LBs didn't have them and I needed shoes NOW!

You can always compromise on color if you can't make up your mind.

Black and pearl white.
