speaking of shoes. is there a brand that seems to be preferred more than others? Lately it seems like the Fiztik are always on sale.

I love Sidi, and so do many other cyclists.

Went out to the Veloway this morning. It’s too twisty to even get a good base session in, but it was fun as a break from Violet Crown.
I did see a roadrunner but couldn’t get a pic. Also saw a tarantula and didn’t WANT to take a pic.

Set your sights higher. At least an R3.

And VBulletin won't let me paste in Chinese characters. I'd make a joke there, but not this week.

I figured it was a preference thing. I just didn’t know if there was one brand out there that seemed to be favored more is all. Or if there was a shoe out there to stay away from.

Not really. I mean, there are a handful of major players (Sidi, Specialized, Shimano, Giro, Fizik, Lake, etc) that are well-regarded, but the issue is going to be fit. It's the same deal as saddles. Some people have an easy time and can get away with just about anything, but most go through a few before they find something that really works for them... and then they stick with it for as long as they can.
