Today the world was to end. There is that one person who has to come up with the day the world will end, but it doesn’t. Nature wants to surprise us so I don’t think we will get advanced warning. Unless humans decide to blow up the planet. So since the world is here I will go on a bike ride.

I put on my mountain bike cycling shoes because I haven’t worn them in over a year. I just didn’t want to clip my shoes in. I actually enjoy wearing my hiking shoes when I ride. They are comfortable and I can lock the bike up and go for a hike. But today I rode farther and I like my cycling shoes for nonstop long rides. Cycling shoes also makes riding up hills easier. Or is it all in my head?

I like my Shimano A530 pedals. One side for cycling shoes. The other side for street shoes. I don’t like riding around town in cycling shoes. The constant clipping out begins to irritate me.

I see bicycle commuters wearing cycling shoes and I don’t get it. Even if the cycling shoes helps them ride faster the constant clipping in and out for stop lights would be a pain. Oh yeah they don’t stop for lights. Silly me.

Bike ride is over and now to relax and get some reading in.
