New Cycling Shoes

I guess it was inevitable after 15 years…

Most road shoes don’t have the two mounting holes for spd pedals anymore. Shimano still makes SPD pedals, but only for mountain bikes. Their road pedals are more like Look pedals now. So it looked like I would need new pedals too.

I opted for some low-end Specialized shoes that fit very well, along with some matching white Speedplay Zero pedals.

On top of this, I had to spend $100 on a UCI road license for the privialage of doing the Vancouver - Whistler Gran Fondo in front of 7000 people in the citizens category. Who knows, maybe that $100 will save me from some nasty shoulder-to-shoulder wipe out. As well, I get to suck my friends’ wheels for as long as I can since they already had Cat 3 licenses.
