One of our customers loaned his road bike and his shoes to his son. We repaired the bike, but the shoes didn't make it back home. So, we sold him a new pair of shoes and a set of cleats.

Happy travels.
I'll be zipping past the broad vicinity of phrantic09 country on Sunday, and passing directly through rjones28 country an hour or so later.

You're asking why I didn't buy cleats to go with them? They didn't come from a bike store. I got these from "Sierra", which is what became of Sierra Trading Post. They're the TJ Maxx of outdoor gear. They seem to specialize in overstock reductions, so if you want a small helmet, or a small jersey, or something that didn't sell, they've got you covered. They just happened to have some Sidi road shoes for $100 off, and the soles of my old Sidis are saying bye-bye to the uppers, starting at the heels.
Sierra doesn't sell cleats, it seems. I Look'ed

I forgot my front wheel. Sad!
I contacted the local bike club and found a kind soul who loaned me a spare front wheel for the week.

Lost my cool with a driver for the first time in just about forever this morning. Guy towing a boat started blowing his horn behind me to get around on a no shoulder road. Then he decided to pass with a vehicle coming the other direction, I’d stayed left so he wouldn’t try to pass with the other car coming. He ran them off the road and swerved back and nearly clipped me with his trailer.
I caught up to him a gas station and asked “Are you trying to kill someone or just ******g stupid?”
he got in my face (thankfully I had a face cover on because it was freezing) and told me bikes don’t belong on road. I thought he was actually going to take a swing at me.

I buy them in pairs, but because I always un-clip my right foot and put it down when I stop, I wear that one out faster, so I use them one at a time. At the moment, I have 1.
