Same thing as Nagrom. I put aluminum foil under the insole to cover up the goddamn hole in the sole. I hope this gives me a little longer before my toes go numb.

That was an option, but I want to see how much of the issue the ventilation hole was, and how much covering that up helps. Also, aluminum foil is cheaper than a toe cover.

I have a westport cruiser bike I like to ride sometimes, it's heavy and is a good leg workout, it's also nice when i'm not in any hurry, anyone know if these bikes are regular thread on the pedals? the bike isnt bad, but the pedals have to go

I 'm finishing up the Schwinn which will be my primary bke, but I do enjoy riding the big cruiser bike sometimes, I have no idea what pedall thread is on there, I think it might be a chinese bike, it's got horrible pedals, on the Schwinn I have Atom 440 pedals, and I have clips but clips and straps only, as heavy as the westport is, it's a really good workout going up hills with no gearing, I use it for strength training, the only thing it's good for
