I have a pair of Reynolds British made shoes. Mine are an older style than
heir current offerings with a sole that is too flexible for long distance
riding in non-platform pedals. Very well crafted. The new ones appear to have
a beefed-up sole. Bear in mind that a UK size 12 is equivalent to
$1200 for shoes eek, As someone who must wear prescription
orthotics a custom bike shoe would be nice. I found that a combination
of Specialized Body Geometry shoes (with built in varus wedge) and a
superfeet insert is good enough. Just wish they made a more "normal"
version.

No. No, we don't. I have to wear steel-toed shoes at work, and have
trouble finding them to fit my size 43 narrow feet. The Vittorias
look perfect to me. Too bad I won't need new cycling shoes for a few
years, there are some nice ones out there these days. Like these:

.and Grant referred to the game-changer dynamo hub. Presumably
the same hub that Velo Orange has been talking up. If Riv and VO are
talking about the same part, then it's a dynamo hub that allows you to
totally disengage the dynamo mechanism when you aren't using the
light, so a lot less drag
There's an interesting editorial on rivbike right now about how bikes aren't
the same as cars.
It reminds me of something I often remember when teaching students: the idea
that doing what's right and fair for a kid is sometimes not the same thing for
any two given kids.
