Have yet to "fall" while clipped in. And the turf treads make it easy on the feet in an uphill scramble "off piste" for the best parking spot in front of the local coffee & donuts.

I biked without it for a couple of years, but then bit the bullet for a new one, fully expecting to then find the old one immediately. Surprisingly, it hasn't yet reappeared.

When he and his friends get together for game night, he's often shaking dice and declaring "baby needs a new pair of shoes." Like you, my dog often misplaces footwear.

I spent 15 minutes last night looking for a Park Allen key tool that somehow ended up not with my tool box, not in my Road or Mountain bike saddle bags but the second drawer of my desk. So as entrophy sets in do they also grow legs? Thank you for finally defining this.

I'm sure they would be much happier in my heated garage, which has very little dust. And of course I would make sure all of the chains had the appropriate amount of lube at all times, and all seats would face forward. Wouldn't that make you feel much better about your bikes? And I would do this all free of charge! Aaron So…how many of those bikes in your garage are you willing to part with?

For this reason I always watch the ground as I back out of the parking spot. Unless I'm backing into a highway in Lake Tahoe in which case I don't and leave my shoes on the ground. Fortunately they were there on a rock where someone left them 2 days later. or on the bench by the portapotty at the other trailhead after the night ride. Or at the parking lot of the park/ trailhead after the ride with the wife in which I was to busy explaining that the reason she had issues with driving were because of her mom having issues with driving. (Being a back seat driver, having to drive to have control, jerking and hitting the imaginary brake on the floor when any car she was a passenger in came within 20 carlengths of the car in front of it.)
