Will these match your bartape and helmet?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Will these match your bartape and helmet?

Kinda like a manufacturer painting a new car with each body panel an available color for that car.

Not that I've given a lick of though to matching shoes-bartape-helmet, but egads those things are over the top.

Half price with a coupon code? Maybe.

Sidi has pushed the Bling bar into uncharted territory.

Crazy thing is - every year seems like - they come out with a shoe that is just a little blingier than last year's, setting the bar higher and higher and higher. Makes me wonder about my kids', and thier kids' Sidi's. Flava Flave meet George Jetson.

Indeed. With use they're downright marvelous. Pity it's been all indoors.

It's 'wear'. And that does little to explain 100 pairs being made.

We should all be thankful that Bettini hasn't won a KOM jersey, or they'd have some red polkadots on there too.

Hmm, maybe they do - I went blind from looking at those, so I can't tell.
