Some store owners are afraid of lawsuits. A guy slipped in a small store here and sued. I don't think he got anything but the store owner made it clear that he didn't want us there anymore.
A woman came on a ride with our club and she slipped and fell at a Macdonalds. She sued Micky D and she sued our club because we told her to go there.

Rock Store?
I believe Newcomb's had a similar incident but they still welcome our business.


Please tell me she lost and is banned from future rides.

One giant awwwwww to your avatar! Congrats!

Back OT, I received some pretty serious glares from the manager of a local Subway. I have Speedplays, but I had covers on.

Yes, the Rock Store. After that they removed the drinking fountain they had put out front for us and you couldn't go in there without getting a snarky remark. It's not as bad now from what I hear, I never go there.



She didn't get anything from the club but it forced us to buy additional insurance. I never saw her after the incident.

Mom and baby are doing fine, I trust?

I took mom home from the hospital today, but the baby is in NICU. He was born 6 weeks early via c-section because the doc was concerned about a couple of things. Long story. We're about to go visit him right now and bring him some more food.

Just had a baby shower end today for a friend and another literally jusy gave birth a few hours ago....so... congrats!

The only time I've seen it be an issue is at the observatory at the top of Mt Hamilton. The floor is very nice stone (marble?) and there are a lot of cyclists who stop there, so they have signs outside asking you to please take off your cycling shoes if they have metal cleats.

You're allowed to walk into any convenience store with clanking PLASTIC cleats as long as you perform a Gene Kelly number, modified with a taste of Bollywood.

You enter a store in rural Georgia wearing spandex and tap shoes and wonder why the clerk was looking at you?

Hey, he was from India. Rural Georgia is no longer the same.

SPD-SL's are practically silent compared to Deltas. I even walk around the house in my SPD-SL's without getting yelled at.

They probably don't see much spandex in downtown Gillsville...

Lycra body fit shorts + strip clubs.... sounds like a recipe for an embarrassing situation.

That's LA for ya.

If you have metal cleats clacking on the floor, do the store owner a favor and wear cleat covers.

I've had a number of managers, clerks, owners look down at my clicking shoes. Assuming that they are concerned about damage, I just tell them that they are covered to prevent floor damage. It's only being considerate.
