Another Holy Cow meets it's maker

I came upon the shoe article while reading an interesting piece about riding slower . Read the "riding slower" one first, then check out http://www.rivbike.com/article/clothing/the_shoes_ruse

Given the hassle I am having getting a pair of cycling shoes to fit my (not above average) wide feet, I might just give this a try.

I can't wait for the "Do you think 29ers are here to stay" brigade's indignation.....

Are there really people out there who would open this?

If it were not for the risks involved, I would be tempted to enter into a spurious communication with Mr Foxfullstop.

Perhaps he is a long-lost relative of my old acquaintance Mr Eduardo Zachary?

This will work on the hills just before the Kuiseb bridge.

I'm trying to imagine how this would translate into cycle-speak

Every now and then one enters a space that reeks of bad energy, sometimes it's just because the veneer is so thin, really just a transparent gloss. That's being harsh, but I couldn't help wondering what the previous sign said. I can only guess that it may have been a little more specific in terms of race, creed, gender, etc.

This I share for your bemusement:

Clearly standards have to be maintained!

Not acceptable on course.

"T-shirts, denim jeans, elastic or draw string trousers or shorts, combat trousers or shorts, rugby-type socks, secret socks, rolled down long socks, sandals, thongs or 3/4 lenght (sic) shorts"

"Not acceptable in clubhouse and verandah

Track suits, T-shirts, bold advertising on garment, overalls, no hats or caps to be worn in bar."


My mind boggles at the thought of someone trying to play golf in rolled-down rugby socks, a thong and a polar (sic) neck designer golf shirt. **@Hurben: They appear to have dropped the mandatory black plastic comb in the sock ;)

At least in the world of cycling the fashion police operate at a different level, but believe me, they operate.

PS Please don't assume I entered these hallowed premises to play golf!

There's a riot going on over at DC
