Grant Petersen on the Rivendell site, and in his book, Just Ride, exposes the shoes ruse as just another thing to buy so you look like a racer.
I ride in whatever I am wearing to wherever I am headed. Church...dress shoes, grocery store...sneakers, work boots, Crocs, or? Some of my bikes have plain platform pedals, some have half clips, some have full toe clips, a couple of Power Grips. I rode my expedition bike to the farm store the other day to pick up some special order parts for one of my tractors, wore a set of
Wellies...it had been raining.
