The pedal has to talk because nobody stays at that company for long. Every time I call to order something they have a new staff. HAHA!

Bicycle Bill – talk about tripping through time with names like Avocet shoes, MKS, Christophe, and Binda. are any of them still in business. Hasn’t that Trek rusted through after all the roller sweat dripping on it?

I also read the entire Speedplay ad. I did not feel the need for new pedals. I especially did not feel the need for new Speedplay pedals.

You’re a better man than me. I’m in advertising (a creative to boot) and I couldn’t muster up the strength or courage to plow through that ad.

So, has Speedplay sent you your complementary pair of pedals to trial, yet?
