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

It has to do with the use of erratic quotation marks. You "wouldn't" understand.

Didn't count the pair I got for cross. I guess because I just mounted cleats to them last night. Specialized came on as a sponsor this year for us. I am very happy about that.

Look at the video from the first link. I doubted until I tried it. Amazingly comfortable.

You can see in the video what my fear is. There's a little bit of the what I guess is his pad sticking through that slit. I would hate for my wedding tackle to somehow get caught in that slit. Go to stand out of the saddle it'd be like a bull dog down there...
